CLOSURE ALERT!
Heads up, climbers!
Gavin Emmons (Pinnacles Wildlife Specialist) has alerted us that a number of routes on the south part of Machete Ridge (starting beyond Corona / Dos Equis and extending south and around to The Hideout - Corona and Dos Equis are still open) have been closed. This is a mandatory closure that went into into effect on Friday, 03/11.
This is a "Wildlife Protection" closure related to the standard raptor nesting closures we get annually.
Please, remember to check all closure postings at the trail heads and stay safe.
Climb On!
