Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31

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
This is the leftmost bolted line on the crag. Like everything else on Rainy Day Rock, it is short, but it packs a wallop. When I first did it, it seemed straightforward. When I came back on another occasion, it was a real bear and I couldn't figure out what I did before. In the process of working it out again I slipped off a smear and got a nasty, bloody shin-banger on the lip of an overlap. I eventually succeeded, but only at a cost. It may be more difficult than .11b. I don't think it is much easier.
