Route starts left of a tree at the slab roughly 50 feet downstream from Devil's Chair. Start up the continuous right leaning crack. Pull a bulge then continue to top out the slab to a 6 foot ledge. Step left and build an anchor. From the anchor, lead straight up the clean face into the dihedral and under a dead tree. At the end of the dihedral, step right, then go up the steep headwall with great hand cracks. Walk left and back from the cliff to build an anchor. Be sure to give a proper "Ka-Kaw!" at the summit of Eagle's Nest.  

  Hike up to the road, and descend the gully next to Devils Chair to get back to the base. 

  The two pitches can easily be linked, but forces good rope drag management practice. This climb is an awesome beginner multipitch lead with great jams for the grade. 

  I am sure this route has a different name, but it seems to be lost from any guidebooks. Please comment with any details!

Eagle's Nest

Devils Chair

The Falcons Guide described it as a wretched flaring five inch crack. I disagree and thought it was very enjoyable. Start at the two finger cracks and continue up the fist to off fist sized crack for about five more feet until you come to a ledge. Climb the corner to your left to the top. The guide books rate this as 5.9+, I would give it more like a 5.9 or 5.8+.

 ADDENDUM: part of this route apparently was vandalized/toppled.  See comments below.

Free standing tower right after leaving the Minnesota strip area. With a large fist sized crack about half way up. The Falcons Guide book describes it as a wretched flaring five in crack. The main climb on the Devils chair follows up the crack onto a ledge. I feel there is a possibility for another route on the left side. Walk off decent.
