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 is a huge deposit of large boulders in a talus field below the Sunshine Wall.

Getting There

Park at the Cathedral Spires Park Trailhead, this is a large dirt pulloff on the right with a bathroom.

As of 2020, there is now a newly built trail that will take you almost directly to the boulder field.

Hats off to the BCC and Park rangers for constructing the trail, and for allowing boulderers to continue climbing in the area. Please stay on trail and respect the area to continue to preserve access.

If you feel like thanking BCC for this trail and the numerous others they construct at pretty much every climbing area, consider donating here.
