Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted Details

Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.

Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.

Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.

These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.

Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.

See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.

Description

This northeast-facing, creekside boulder offers a secluded solid bouldering session, consisting of steep slab, aretes, and bulging overhang problems. It is a post flood boulder with a new, flat, pebbled beach landing. It is a new gem for Eldorado creekside boulders.

Getting There

This can easily be accessed by hiking up the road or creek until you see the Crank Rock. Hike down slope for a short way to the boulder. It is located on the south shore of the creek. This is 5 minutes from the entrance parking lot.
