Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:
Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
This 40ish-foot tall outcropping is home to a few routes that are not described elsewhere on MP to my knowledge. Please add any additional information (such as name of crag, name of routes, etc) as you see fit.
Visible clearly from the roadway, the main feature of this east-facing, narrow crag is a black-flanked, shallow dihedral with fist-crack that bisects the face. The left side of the rock is generally overhung. All routes are TR accessible by walking back around the west side, though you'll have to supply gear to build anchors as there is no fixed gear.
The rock can be slick in places and may have considerable lichen. The belay area below is flat and clean. While the spot can feel secluded, the proximity to the highway can create a little noise when cars pass.
