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
Geek Crack is an OK route that starts off with grungy climbing to get up to a thin seam/crack in a slab, about 100' up. The seam/crack portion is pretty fun.
Start on the same tombstone flake as for 'Illusion Chain' (far right side of buttress, just left of low lying roofs). Scramble up, zig-zagging a bit to find the path of least resistance, as well as 2 or 3 bolts and possible supplemental gear until you get to a bushy ledge just below the seam. Clip a buttonhead and make a tricky step up over a small roof to get established. Ease your way up the seam, protecting with small cams and wires. Microstoppers (i.e. RPs, BD micro, HB offset) are helpful. After about 20 feet, it eases up and you can cruise easily to the same anchors as for 'Illusion Chain'.
