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 is a nice beginner area with a few short and fun slab routes.

The crag is basically in the parking lot and very close to the bathroom, which could be great reasons to choose this crag depending on who you are climbing with for the day. One very cool part of this area is the fact that it has great access being right off the paved path.

Turn the Tide, 6, 1p, 40', bolts.

Slabtastical Voyage, 7, 1p, 60', bolts.

Toprope Variation, 6, 1p, TR.

Getting There

Park at Tunnel 5 parking area, the new paved lot by the bathroom on the west side of the tunnel. Hike downstream on the Peaks to Plains Trail for about 5 seconds, and you'll arrive at the crag on the righthand side of the trail.
