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
I've always thought sport climbing is bouldering on a rope. This route hits home with that sentiment. Clip the first bolt, press your way on to the first shelf. Clip the 2nd bolt carefully. Haul yourself up the fun arete. After the 3rd clip, it's a romp up the slab to the anchor which is shared with three other routes. Be careful with your rope on descent.
Location
To the right of Bypass. This is the third bolted line from the left on this section of rock.
Protection
8 bolts to 2 bolt anchor. Can be top roped via Cracker Jack or Bypass with some rope drag.
Eds. Be careful not to fall on the 2nd bolt, since it crossloads the top carabiner and can lead to failure at lower than expected forces.
