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…

CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 1 (MM 270, W of Tunnel 1). Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 2 (E of Tunnel 2). In 2016, the closure WAS lifted June 9 for ONLY the 2016 season, per Eric Krause, JeffCo OS Ranger. Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

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

Access Issue: Closure 8/22/18-10/16/18 7a-5p weekdays Details

Per ErikaNW: Clear Creek Canyon High Wire crag will be closed on weekdays from August 22 to October 16!

Front Range Climbing Stewards in collaboration with JeffCo will initiate a special project to move the High Wire access trail away from above the Tunnel 2 entrance. High Wire, Low Wire, Higher Wire, and Wall of Justice crags will be closed M-F from 7 am to 5 pm while the crew is working. Access to the crags at this time will be prohibited. Until further notice, weekend access is still allowed.

Thanks for your patience and understanding as work is done to make the High Wire approach safer for all!

Description

This is popular crag with mostly short, consistently overhanging sport routes. Most of the routes are in the 5.11 to 5.12 range. The belay/starting ledge is quite exposed, so make sure to stay tied in out there to avoid a tragedy. Enjoy!

Getting There

Approach is the same as for High Wire crag. From High Wire continue to the left or south side of the rock and follow a small trail over the ridge. Go down maybe 50 feet until you see this extremely overhung formation. The belay ledge below the climbs is a forth class ledge which has some fixed ropes and belay bolts to clip in to. A fall from the ledge will send you 100 feet down some jagged rocks to the creek so be careful and check the fixed lines before trusting them implicitly.
