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. The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.
Sundays: 7PM-4AM
Monday-Thursday: 4PM-4AM

Description
This is a more-difficult-than-it-looks crack system to the left of Tweety.
Start down and left at an obvious crack going up to a nook. Place pro with long sling(s), and make a slightly precarious traverse (crux) right to gain the obvious crack system. Continue upwards with face holds and occasionally funky jams to finish in a wider slot. A directional off the tree to the left (2 x 48" slings) may be nice for the follower. Use the anchor bolts down and right as for Tweety.
FWIW, this felt a bit harder than Tweety.

Location
This is down and left of Tweety starting perhaps 30 feet left and finishing perhaps 10 feet left.
