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
This area is the upstream end of the same cliff which holds the Graveyard. I counted 9 routes back then, (many more now) did a few of the easy ones and thought I'd update the database a bit. The crag faces south (not west, per Giselle T.) and gets afternoon sun until about 3pm on the winter solstice.
