Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures/CDOT Road Work
Details
Please be aware of the annual raptor seasonal closures!
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31
Visit: jeffco.us/open-space/news/2…
Tunnel 1 closure
For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…
The two areas Jefferson County Open Space intends to close in Clear Creek Canyon, shown on the attached maps, encompass the active eagle nests. If the Clear Creek eagles continue to nest in the active nests, these areas will remain closed from February 1 through July 31. If the eagles choose different nesting sites, the closures will be adjusted accordingly to protect those eagles during their breeding season.
Currently, rock climbing areas that fall inside of the seasonal raptor closures include:
Blonde Formation
Bumbling Stock
Evil Area
Ghost Crag
Highlander
Skinny Legs
Stumbling Block
Tetanus Garden
Fault Caves
June 7, 2021 - TBD: Highway 6 is currently doing full road closures from Sunday night to Friday morning every week. The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.
Sundays: 7PM-4AM
Monday-Thursday: 4PM-4AM

Description
This line has the potential to be a fun enduro jug haul, but it never received a proper cleaning (or any cleaning at all). The climbing is almost entirely on sloper jugs, and it feels like youre constantly sliding off the dirty, flaky rock, significantly detracting from the experience. Still, if youre looking to get pumped at a reasonable grade, grab some brushes (and some fresh binerssee below) and clean this baby up!
Begin as for Full Metal Jacket, climbing up and left from The Cowering Spot up a short gray slab. A few powerful moves lead out a short roof to a nice stance in an alcove. Clip out right (and perhaps back-clean), and the follow the horizontal crack straight right on mostly incut jugs with scrunchy feet. Pull up into another alcove and an awkward rest. The crux is clearing the next roof, with off-balance pulls between slopey edges. One final roof, split by a crack system, guards the chains.
