Anyone know the policies of climbing in Clear Creek at night? Was looking into some fun late-night action for a friend’s birthday, thanks!

A sheriff informed me (mid climb) a couple years ago that the canyon closes at nightfall. We were at Nightworm Pinnacle. 

Me: "We're good, no worries officer."

Sheriff: "You are most definitely not good, down here now."

That being said, perhaps something higher up might be alright? Maybe Playpen?

You can’t park in Jefferson county after dark on U.S. 6.  Not sure about Clear Creek County.

There is signage at some crags in clear creek that says it closes one hour after sundown if I remember correctly. I think no parking after sundown is also a rule. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
