Amazingly enough, yes.

Tunnel routes are on Chaos?

I'm planning to rebolt those this summer during the week but I didn't realize they fall under the closures - thought they were too low to be of concern.

Yeah, we have a prairie falcon pair every year that nests somewhere between Egg, Teapot Dome, and Chaos Crag. I've seen them at Chaos Crag, Teapot Dome, and Ball Pinnacle so far this year, but as they focus more on a specific site for nesting, I'll let you know. That falcon territory is small enough - and close enough to trails - that I try to give the birds a bit more space. Remind me as summer approaches and we'll see where the birds are at in their nesting schedule.

AF is on Facebook. It's been floating around for a couple weeks.

Just a heads-up: climbing advisories have been updated now that falcon nests have been confirmed. There are no new closures, just more areas accessible for climbing again.

The main areas where advisories have been lifted for the season include all of Machete, Citadel, Scout Peak, and Goat Rock. Note that the posted advisory sign near Scout Peak will remain in place for hikers / climbers that might otherwise head to the back side of Resurrection Wall (which is still fully under advisory), but the sign can be ignored for climbing at Goat Rock or Scout Peak.

Let me know if you have questions.

Hey All -

All climbing advisories / closures are lifted for the rest of 2015. Let me know if you have questions, and stay safe in the heat if you're out hiking and climbing!

Cool, going bolting. Although I had a difficult 3rd class down climb yesterday because the rock was too hot to hold onto.

Too hot.

Too hot.

C'mon clink - it was only 92 in Pinns today - probably nearly that hot at chateau Young.

I'm going bowling while I scab up.
They have AC, cold beer and hot dogs with spicy mustard

Thanks for the confirmation Gavin.
Three years ago we were out climbing Costanoan the day after closures were lifted

I love mustard.

Mud Falcons still banned?

Interested in some new routing? Possibly this Sunday? Might include bushwhacking, P.O, crappy rock, bad pro, and other nastiness. Totally a 5 star route.

Have I ever lied to you?

That you know of.

clink · « **Reply #157 on:** July 08, 2015, 06:40:12 PM »

OK then, but you have to hold the PO out of my way while I pass through.

mynameismud · « **Reply #158 on:** July 08, 2015, 06:41:17 PM »

no way. I hate that stuff. You lay on it while JC and I go through.

F4? · « **Reply #159 on:** July 08, 2015, 07:06:41 PM »

Sunday? Hmmm

Is the Mud Mobile back in action?
