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
Climb either Stone Free or Reefer Madness and head up and right of Reefer's anchor (the line Porn Queen extends directly- or slightly left above these anchors). See these routes for descriptions of the 1st 6-7 bolts. Pass some bird dung on this interesting line, and a sizeable runout above an initial bulge that is intimidating on the lead.
Balancy moves and a good head will bring one through the crux mid way between the lower and upper anchors via sloping holds. Doesn't receive much traffic. Has solid rock for hands and feet, although keep the feet firmly pasted on the slightly lichenous rock. A star and a half would be my rating for quality of moves. If cleaner it would be a popular climb.
