On Memorial Day (2010) I walked past Hidden Wall and Gorilla Face just to show them to a friend (We'd been climbing at Attitude.). A hawk picked us up as we left Hidden Wall and began screaming at us. Evidently it was familiar with people wearing backpacks and walking in that direction. As we got closer, it was joined by its mate. Evidently they have a nest somewhere near the top of the cliff. Can we maybe leave this cliff alone for a while and let them do their thing?

Yea, i was out there about a month ago, and they were certainly displeased with my presence. One even tried scare me, by making a low pass baring his talons... Leaving this wall alone for a while would probably be a good idea. I'm pretty sure the bird in question wasn't a red tailed hawk, it was smaller. Maybe some sort of falcon? I'll go ask the nice older gentleman who works in the station what he thinks tomorrow.

Got out there for a bit yesterday. Seems like the hawks/falcons have finished doing their thing. They were not in the area at all.
