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.

Description
Follow the black bolts and jugs over a v-shapped notch in the right side of a wide overhang. Head up a rounded arĂȘte angling slightly to the left. Watch out for the runout between the 4th and 5th bolt (a bolt has been added, no need for gear now). There is another fun overhang at the 7th bolt. 2 more clips lead to a nice stance and the anchor.
A 5.6 ish 2nd pitch can be climbed on gear. It's fun and well-protected with a single set of cams up to a #4. You can head over to the Out of the Blue anchor to get down.
The big roof left of pitch one has been toproped, maybe 11a? It's filthy but fun.

Location
When the trail hits the rock, go left to a big flat staging area. This route climbs the v-shaped break in the overhang halfway between Into the Black and Out of the Blue. Look for black bolts.
