Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures 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…

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

Access Issue: Private Property - be aware & respectful Details

Per Daniel Dunn, Stewardship Manager, Boulder Climbing Community ((803) 443-8822): this crag is on private property. The landowners are aware of the climbing on their property and continue to allow access for rock climbers. It is critical for long term access that everyone who climbs here is respectful and does their part to keep the crag in good shape. For more information on how to be a good steward, check out the Climber's Pact from Access Fund.

Description

This wall is high on the north side of the canyon between Creek Side and the Safari. It faces south, so it gets a lot of sun. The rock is typical of the rest of the canyon. It is unlikely you will see other people here. The crag is listed in the newest guide by Kevin Capps, but there are more bolted routes now than listed in the guide. Hopefully the first ascentionists will post their routes.

Getting There

Park the same as for Creek Side, The Safari, Other Critters, and The Dog House just west of Tunnel 5. Follow the trail west as for Creek Side. At the first big gully you come to, you will head uphill to the north. The Safari will be to the east higher up the hill. A cairn marks the start of the steep trail going upwards. More cairns mark the trail as you move upwards. Eventually you head to the crag by moving west You go down slightly to the base of the routes. This takes about 20 minutes. You can walk to the top of the crag on the right.

Per kevin h: the GPS coordinates are 39.7428, -105.4096. This is difficult to move to precisely due to the MP.com map not allowing us to input directly the map coordinates to adjust it. This new pin is close with using a satellite comparison of Google maps and our MP.com map to try to match them.
