Peregrine Watch – Revised Temporary Closure in the Trapps Cliff

Through our Peregrine Watch program, we have confirmed breeding activity in the Trapps. As a result, we are revising our temporary climbing and bouldering closures as follows effective Thursday, May 8th:

  • Trapps Climbing – No climbing from and including Thin Slabs (5.7) to and including Lakatakissima (5.10b).
  • Trapps Bouldering – No bouldering from and including Atlas (V10) to and including Mini (V1). Exception: Andrew Boulder and Slug’s Life Boulder problems starting from Undercliff Carriage Road will be open. To minimize noise close to the eyrie, at any given time no more than 10 people can be present at this location.
