Lover's Leap Falcon Closures 2023: Main Ledge on the Traveler Buttress from Eeyore's Ecstasy/Enigma to Traveler Buttress (including P2 offwidth of Traveler). Pleas avoid climbs on this section of Traveler Buttress.
Our peregrine falcon friends have nested literally under the big top this year; this has previously been one of their preferred nesting sites in some years. Lover's Leap Guides is working with the forest service and CRAGS in managing the climbing closure for this spring.
Please avoid the base area on Main Ledge and climbing routes between Eeyore’s Ecstasy/Enigma and Traveler Buttress (pitch 2 offwidth). That includes Freakshow, Under The Big Top and Traveler Buttress most importantly. Respecting this small closure helps us keep more climbing open.We’re not seeing the falcons showing any concern with climbers on Tombstone ledge or Corrugation Corner but please avoid going around the corner from Corrugation to Traveler.

We will update as we have more information and the closure is officially posted.
