Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
Please be aware of the annual raptor seasonal closures!
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31
Visit: jeffco.us/open-space/news/2…
Tunnel 1 closure
For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…
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
Who would imagine that the authors of the Clear Creek Classic, Sonic Youth, would stuff a tiny little line in here? Why not? Even The General needs to climb in the rain.
A crimpy start and a clip from the ground will get you into the dihedral and polish the crux. Chase the corner for a few more clips; pop up over the block above the dihedral to clip the anchors. Pretty cool over all, and a lot of pump delivered in 35 feet. Good edge training for the fingers. The Rainy Day anchor will allow you to top rope the 5.13 which is a lot trickier than it looks as well.
