Access Issue: Seasonal Closure - 2018 Update
Details
2018 update: all Boulder Canyon closures have been lifted!
See - fs.usda.gov/recmain/arp/rec….
2018 update: as of April 6, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk are OPEN. Eagle Rock remains closed.
Perennial notice:
Eagle Rock, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk will close Feb. 1 until July 31 for raptor nesting. Depending on updated information, the closure time can be shortened or lengthened.
Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st through July 31st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates.

Description
This is the furthest East (on the right as you are looking at the cliff from the bottom) route on the wall. It starts on a flat area at the very base of the granite slabs. The first pitch follows a slab to the anchors that is broken in two places by horizontal seams. The first pitch is easy 5.7 or so slab climbing with 2 bolts to an anchor. The next pitch continues up the face to the left (follow the bolts). There is a mantle move that I would call the crux at the second bolt of the second pitch. The route then continues to top out with easier climbing.
Protection
This is a bolted sport climb so bring quickdraws, however a small rack of nuts and cams is a good idea if you are squeamish about runouts. Bring your usual set-up for 2-bolt anchors. There is no rappel ring on the anchors of the first pitch (I left a 'biner), so someone might want to equip one.
