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

Description

This little crag receives all day sun and contains only a few trad lines. The climbs are fun, but the approach has a lot of loose rock on a steep slope which goes above the road at times.

A1. The Incisor, 12-, 1p, 50', gear.
A2. The Incisor Direct, 12-, 1p, 50', gear.

Getting There

8.2 miles west of the intersection of US 6, CO 58, and CO 93 is a pullout on the South (left) side of the road that contains a few big boulders. The pullout is between A Little Piece of South Dakota and High Profile Wall. From here, walk down canyon a hundred yards or so. You'll see the rock up and to the left, but getting there is a little tricky. To minimize the risk of knocking loose rock onto the road, you should approach the crag from down canyon. Start near a bridge/gulley/guard-rail and work your way back up toward the rock. Take great care if you decide to take this hike -- there is a lot of loose rock, and it seems no matter how you approach, there is some danger of kicking rock down to the cars below. 25 minutes uphill.
