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.

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 newer area contains some great, steep thuggy, short cave climbs. It also contains a few moderate, although plenty challenging 5.11s to warm up on. The crag contains a total of 7 climbs, 3 5.11s and 3 5.13s, and one in process unfinished project.

The wall faces Southeast offering morning sun and afternoon shade. In May, the steep section of wall mostly stays shaded, and the belay goes into the shade around 1:30. In December get sun from about 11:15 - 1:00 when it gets blocked by the pillar off to the left.

Broverhang was developed by Matt Samet & Derek Peavey in 2017.

Getting There

The quickest way is to wade the creek or take the ice bridge when it is in to Nomad Cave, then walk a shortways upstream. The cave will be slightly uphill from the main trail.

Alternatively park just upstream from the main Primo Wall parking by a bridge, cross the road, and follow a faint trail along the river to the wall. This approach takes about 15 minutes and involves a fair bit of scrambling, up over and down riverside cliffs.

Finally you can take the standard Tyrol approach to Primo Wall / Nomad's Cave, and continue a short distance upstream.
