Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure
Details
2023 info: jeffco.us/1531/Alerts-Closures
The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates: jeffco.us/open-space/parks/…
Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.

Description
This is the good and scary, sickle-shaped, left-angling crack in the middle of the Block Tower. Start as for Queer Bait on the highest ledge but continue straight up the crack where that route traverses right. This enjoyable hand crack soon turns into a scary pinched off undercling protected by RPs and small cams. When the crack ends, climb up to the first bolt then make crux moves left to a second bolt and on up and left to a fixed webbing anchor in a bushy crack. The traverse is a bit hairy as the roof you are traversing above has a sharp lip.
You can continue up and right to link to Queer Bait or Dance of Chance. Go up and left to finish on Hurt Dance, or rappel 100 feet to the ground.
