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
Description
The Conspiracy Crag is a recently developed crag with 15 or so sport routes presently established. The rock is very similar to Primo in being largely excellent, bullet-proof stone, however, there remains some surface exfoliation and scaling that will improve with more climbing traffic. The climbing is all under 100 feet, so a 60 meter rope will suffice for everything. Difficulty runs from 5.10 through middle 5.12 with some potential for hard cave routes yet to be developed. For simplicity, I'll start numbering from the left side, sweeping right to a two pitch line, #7. The main features of the crag face due East, so this will not be a good winter spot. In the summer, the high position and Eastern exposure can provide welcome respite from the heat.
Getting There
It's probably ~500 vertical feet above the creek.
