Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.
Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!

Description
P1. Start about 5 feet to the right of Wind Ridge. Start up and right on a easy crack, then move left into a open right-facing dihedral. Follow up about 60 feet and belay from a ... ledge.
P2. Move up another 30 feet or so, then cross left up a ramp before hauling over a roof with ridiculously huge holds. Follow crack straight up then move left to join Wind Ridge, belaying at the wide ramp. Eds. Note, the original route went right above the roof. Walk off from here, or (better) do the fun roof for P3 of Wind Ridge.
P3. Eds. There is an optional pitch above the walkoff ledge to the right of P3 of Wind Ridge.
