Tunnel 1 closure

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 climb starts from the top belay above The Nelsonator-II and takes the ramp on a bit of diagonal to pick off the long, obvious arete. Some frustrating route finding (hands on both sides of the arete!) gives way to enjoyable climbing on the arete. From the double bolt anchor at the top, rappel back to the routes right of N-I or back to the N-I belay, a second rap drops you down the corner system, from which a short scramble takes you back to the AKT belay.
