Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:
Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
This is a south-facing buttress above and between Snake Eyes and Super Collider. It has several sport routes and a couple short trad / TR pitches (including a 5.11 hand crack out a roof on the left and a 5.7 crack/dihedral up the lower slab on the right).
The buttress gets early sun, but it goes into the shade as the sun dips behind the hills in the early afternoon. The approach takes about 10 minutes.

Getting There
Park at the Super Collider parking area (the last pullout on the right in the Narrows and the first one above Snake Eyes).
Climb the slab above the parking area to the rib, head to the top of the rib, and cross the gully to the right. Head up another slab to the top of a rib, climb to the top of the rib, then scramble across the talus to the base of the crag (see the photo).
