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 enjoyable, though runout, slab line ascends a fairly rockin' groove on the right aspect of the upper tier of Greyrock's South Slabs. Crisp granite edges and the occasional smear provide purchase through the route's early crux, and the grade eases as one exits the groove to the lower angle slab above. Continue face climbing to a gear belay at the right edge of the large, leaning, right-facing dihedral at the top of the wall. From here, wander off the face to the climber's left to a descent gully, or continue up the wall to the Greyrock's summit.
Location
Funkativity is located on the upper tier of Greyrock's South Slabs, and begins on the upper end of the belay ledge in/immediately behind a sizable evergreen shrub. The route climbs a fairly obvious groove left of a dark water streak that lies about 25 feet up the wall.
With reference to the topo in the 2010 Cross/Leubben/Scott guidebook to Poudre Canyon, Funativity lies about 10 feet right of Shadow Dance, a 5.7 slab climb that ascends the right-most line of bolts on the slab.

Protection
A few small pieces are all that would fit in various pods and a couple small cracks to protect this line. Bring a light standard rack to #2 or #3 to cover anchor-building at the top of the pitch; alternately, it would be easy to belay from the anchors that serve the bolted lines to the left of this route.
