Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure Details

2023 info: jeffco.us/1531/Alerts-Closures

The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates: jeffco.us/open-space/parks/…

Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.

Description

This rock is all right if you are looking for something obscure and have done a lot of routes in the Cathedral Spires area. There are only three routes and one is not very good. You will get sun the entire day. There will likely be no other people. The rock is the typical granite found in the rest of the area.

Getting There

Use the same approach as for Snake Buttress. The road to the old Quarry and the rocks now has a no trespassing sign. To avoid this, I parked as for Cynical Pinnacle and walked north on the road until the barbed wire fence begins. I then headed uphill right where the fence began. Once up the hill a ways, you traverse to the north along the hillside. Eventually you hit the gully that goes up to Snake Buttress and the Poop area. Go west up this gully until you can cut to the right (north) to Poop Point. Poop Slab is below. This takes about 35 minutes.

Per Christine Hartman, JeffCo Ecological Services, access to The Bishop is currently across the JeffCo property closed for raptor closures and are subjective to the expensive fines. Legal access via through adjacement private property has not been work out yet.
