I'm sitting here in an internet cafe in Vientiene, Laos. My wife Megan and I have been climbing on the wild limestone jungle cliffs, before heading to tamer Thailand.
I have to admit it's been nice not to have to think about Yosemite Climbing Regualtions and Rangering for a couple months of Nepal and SE Asia. However, I'm still psyched about the Peregrine recovery, and therefore don't want to wait to long to inform you all about the closures for 2012.
Starting March 1st the following areas are closed to climbing and slacklining:
•Arch Rock Area - Lower Merced River Gorge. Closure includes all routes with the following exception: routes west of and including "Later" and northeast of and including "Juliette's Flake" remain open.
•B.O.L.T. Wall - Immediately southwest of Leaning Tower. Closure includes all routes on the B.O.L.T. Wall. Note: All routes on the Fifi Buttress remain open.
•El Capitan, Southeast Face - Closure includes all big wall routes between and including "South Seas/Pacific Ocean Wall" to the west and "Native Son" to the east. At the base, the first 4 pitches of all routes within this area remain open.
•Glacier Point, east side - East of Glacier Point Apron. Closure includes all routes above 200 feet from the base of the cliff east of Glacier Point Apron including "A Mother's Lament" to the Illilouette Gorge.
•Half Dome, South Face - Overlooking Little Yosemite Valley. Closure includes all routes from "Autobahn" east to and including "South Face Route."
•Hetch Hetchy - Closed area includes Kolana Rock and Wapama Cliff (immediately west of Wapama Falls).
•Rhombus Wall - Above Ahwahnee Meadow. Closure includes all routes west of "Super Slide" to the Ahwahnee Ramps, including all routes on the Rhombus Wall.
•The Rostrum - Lower Merced Canyon. Closure includes "Super Nova" and extends west to all climbing routes on all sides of the Rostrum. The "Jungle Gym" area remains open. Slack-lining is prohibited at the summit and the top of the adjacent cliff.
As we have done in the past several years, closures will be lifted if the birds are not nesting or active in those areas later in the spring. I realize that the Arch Rock closure will be a major bummer for many of you as it is such a great spring crag, I will miss it too, but the cracks will still be there in August (if it stays closed that long). Please respect the closures, the peregrine nesting space, and the Yosemite wildlife biologists who will be monitoring the eyries closely.
Here is a link to the NPS website for further information.

Jesse -Yosemite Climbing Ranger on furlough until March. Looking froward to spring climbing in the Valley!

Arch Rock has had closures the past few years, Marty.
In 2010 and 2011 the closure was modified a couple months into the season.

For all you local yokels.....free yourselves from dependancy. Get out beyond the Ditch. The birds don't care outside the fence line....

For someone that is hoping to make that first pilgrimage at the start of May can you give me an idea of how this affects the type of climbs available for someone looking to get a "feel" for the Valley.
Thanks
Andy

It eliminates maybe a half dozen climbs that might be part of an
introduction to the Valley.

Man.....
You sound so cheerful about closing more areas each year.
I guess you'll be utterly thrilled when ALL climbing areas are closed due to birds.
I apologize, I try really hard to not write negative emails. I just refuse to believe that climbers are harming any birds, and carried to the ultimate conclusion bird closures will be the death of rock climbing.
This has to stop.

Seems like a fair trade to me. I got a soft spot for those big chickens.
The closures are monitored pretty closely, and as I recall, Arch was lifted early last year.
Thanks for the heads up.

Quick post to bump this to the front page:
Reminder that peregrine closures go into effect March 1. Biologists will be closely monitoring the closed areas for nesting activity, and those crags that do not have nests will be reopened. Similarly, crags like Arch Rock, which initially have rather large closed areas to allow the falcons to choose their preferred nesting site, will likely see more routes open up once the nest site is established. All routes will open on August 1 for the remainder of the year.
Thanks for helping to protect Yosemite's amazing cliff dwellers!

Yep, around here (Boulder), they close huge amounts of good climbing for about half they year. As I understand it, peregrines (at least the ones around here) are not endangered, so it's not obvious why the government limits access just to (perhaps) increase the number of one sort-of-random type of animal.
I have a similar thought to the above poster's comment that "I just refuse to believe that climbers are harming any birds," but would phrase it differently. I would keep an open mind, but I'm highly skeptical that the huge rock climbing closures are necessary even if it was a proper government goal to close giant tracts of land to help boost the numbers of particular, non-endangered species.

The National Park Service strives to protect all species, not just the ones that are endangered. This is especially true for top predators that are inherently less common. And just because a species is de-listed doesn’t mean it is thriving.
Unfortunately, refusing to believe that climbers are harming peregrines doesn’t make it so. When a voluntary closure of the Rostrum was ignored in 2002, the nest failed. The following year a hard closure was instituted and the falcons have successfully fledged chicks there every year since.
Scott Cosgrove posted this on an earlier thread about peregrines:
“I would like to add a personal experience to this debate.
I did the FFA of the South-West face of Yosemite Point Buttress with Walt S, way back in the day. It had been a very long time since anyone had been on that face, I'm guessing probably about 30 years. We encountered peregrines about half way up, it was a female and we were so close we could hear her chicks.
She dove bomb me and Walt and was very pissed, I was quite scared having this beautiful bird swooping at me talons extended.
Being a huge peregrine fan, and despite my peers begging me not to do so; I went directly to the SAR cache and reported my sighting. The man in charge of the peregrine project at the time observed the nest and found the adult birds had abandon their chicks. I tell you I felt like shit! We had no idea they were there, until we had climb up on them, by then it was too late.
I found out that some peregrines are very shy, some will hang out with people. Some will abandon their nest at the first sight of a human, others tolerate people quite well.
Bottom line I think climbing is not a God given right, we should respect the natural world and try to live in harmony with its denizens. Not climbing a section of cliff, for the time their chicks are maturing seems like a fair compromise.”
Not sure where the notion of “huge rock climbing closures” comes from, but it certainly does not describe the situation in Yosemite Valley. An analysis of Clint Cummin’s spreadsheet of Yosemite Valley routes shows that the seasonal peregrine closures amount to about 5% of the total number of routes in the Valley (that’s a maximum, as it doesn’t account for routes on El Cap that remain partially open). That means that 95% of Yosemite Valley climbing routes are open from March to August, and 100% of the routes are open from August to March. And routes in other park areas like Tuolumne Meadows are not affected by the closures.
Here is a list of the 2,656 climbs in Yosemite Valley that are unaffected by peregrine closures this year:

Gstock--thanks for at least the somewhat thoughtful reply, although posting a bunch or random routes without any context indicates you're perhaps more interested in advocacy than a thoughtful discussion?
The "huge" closures was my reference to the area around Boulder, CO: I'm not familiar with Yosemite and it may be apples and oranges. I would not object to limited closures, but I do object to closing something approaching half the quality rock for half the year, which is what happens here, without a compelling reason.
(There are 3 main climbing areas surrounding Boulder: Boulder Canyon, Flatirons, and Eldorado Canyon. Each of those areas has enormous closures from Feb. 1 to July 31 (considering Micky Mouse to be part of Eldorado or the Flatirons)
Your observation that birds didn't nest around the Rostrum when climbers were there is interesting but it doesn't prove or even strongly support the notion that enormous closures are necessary to have bird's have places to build their nests. It entirely plausible that birds would simply put their nests someplace other than where climbers climb (they don't climb everywhere), but if given the choice, the birds may well put nests on climbs.
I've had this discussion for years and never really seen anyone change his or her mind, so no big deal. But I see that the pro-huge-closure crowd contains lot of people who aren't into climbing for the long haul, or are no longer very active climbers, or in some cases are near full-time climbers (like Mr. Coz) who probably do like birds and don't give a rats ass about closures because they have plenty of time throughout the year to go wherever they feel like. In other words, they're a large majority.

Well then, blahblah, given your experience in Colorado, perhaps you should APPRECIATE thoughtful land management in Yosemite? They could instead close everything in Merced Canyon instead of small portions of particular crags with actual, observed Peregrine activity.
Ferchrissakes, they are willing to reopen crags that have no nests! That takes extra effort!
(p.s. I interpret "failed nest" as a nest was there and the parents abandoned it because they were disturbed, not the nest was somewhere else.)

They in fact do that to a limited extent here also (at least some of them--lost of different land managers and they do things very differently--some of them seem more-or-less reasonable, some of them seem to look for pretexts to close public access, not just to climbers).

That's good to hear, blahblah.
And of course, land managers aren't different than the general population: some people are reasonable, some are not. Greg's point about the closures is that the way Yosemite is managing this issue is reasonable, given real observations in the park, and the fact that only 5% of Yosemite Valley routes are closed. A little compromise on the part of climbers (e.g. respecting that 5%) is also reasonable.
Just my 2cents!

F*#k Gstock, there's 20 seconds of my life I'll never get back that serves no purpose.
Want to go on a J-Tree list of those "8,000" climbs that everyone has an alternative to? Seriously, I'd actually be curious about that list and it should keep you busy,
Jesse deserves time off with his woman. He gives a ton to the climbing world. Nice to hear he's on a tropical beach somewhere having a good time (albeit sport climbing but can't change everything).

we had some biologists flown out from washington dc to help prepare an enviromental impact statement for the proposed new disc golf course along little chico creek, but all the falcons decided to take a vacation the week before, so we caught some turkey vultures down by coal canyon and trimmed their wings to get the body contour down to peregrine size, they had to really flap to say aloft, which raised some curious eyebrow amongst the eastern onlookers, also had to use a sharpie on the ones with red heads, but i think they took the bait,that is until one of the modified vultures spun out of control onto the deck and the other one started eating a dead skunk,
