At our store one of the most received questions is whether certain climbing areas are closed for any reasons. Clarks Canyon and The Rostrum for example. The Access Fund has a great frequently updated resource for finding this information.

from the Access Fund's most recent newsletter:
"Time to Climb-Many Seasonal Wildlife Restrictions Expire
In June, July, and August, many seasonal wildlife restrictions around the country are lifted as fledgling raptors leave the safety of their nests. These restrictions give our cliff wildlife the protection it needs at its most vulnerable time. With climbers' support, such arrangements demonstrate that climbing can coexist with wildlife protection efforts and help to ensure future climbing access.
The Access Fund maintains a list of known closures and restrictions at
www.accessfund.com/access. Compiling this information is a community project, if you see discrepancies between the information listed and the status at your crag, please email
media@accessfund.org.
Where possible the latest information is given, but always check signs on site. If birds shift nest sites, restrictions may be lifted early or removed entirely. "
