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

Sock Monster is a nice, house-sided boulder with a fun moderate and a few more potential climbs.

Getting There

Follow directions to the Spire Boulder at the bottom right of the talus. When facing the Spire walk directly left into the corridor. Walk up the log onto the platform, and Sock Monster will be right in front of you. It is 100 feet from the spire.
