Seasonal Raptor Closure In Effect MORE INFO >>>
The seasonal raptor closure is in effect February 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013 at Blob Rock and Bitty Buttress.
Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates.
This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.
You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description Hypertension is just right of Vasodilator and largely in constant shadow. Climb up on improbable and chossy looking stone that gets progressively better the higher you climb. This felt a bit like the lines at Clear Creek's Dog House. The whole line is juggy right to the end where it throws an unexpected hand jam. Moving up prior to throwing the jam might save a bit of power. It has powerful but surprisingly nice climbing for how it looks from "the outside".
Protection Eight draws and a rope.

What's that, chipped and overgraded? |

| Not at all. This is fine line and perfectly natural. |

| After a chossy start, the quality of both the rock and the moves increases, but 12b??! |

| Both quality and difficulty assessments are compared to other one pitch Boulder Canyon sport climbs. This pitch attains surprisingly exposed postion while its difficulty increases with each bolt. Could be very photogenic from the Conan's ledge. Very closely bolted in the upper section -- watch out for z-clipping.
Note: the gully at the base is currently quite loose. Be very careful in it if there are people around the base of Jolt Cola and nearby routes. |

| 12b in the guides; I followed Rolofson's. "a" is more in keeping with things like the Ticket, which actually seems quite a bit harder. |
