Access Issue: 2024 Partial Seasonal Raptor Closures lifted 7/21/24
Details
From the Denver Post 7/21/24: some of the raptor closures have been lifted, officials announced.
Upper & Lower Twin Owls, Rock One, The Book and access trail, Bookmark, and Left Book were opened based on a park new release.
Closures have been extended for Thunder Buttress, access trail, The Parish, Cathedral Wall.
Closures above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond trail have been extended.
Per Brent Frazier: the raptor closures have been lifted in the Lumpy Ridge and Loch Vale Areas ( nps.gov/romo/raptor-closure…)
Each year, Rocky Mountain National Park initiates temporary closures in certain areas of the park to ensure that birds of prey will be undisturbed during their breeding and nesting seasons. These closures begin on February 15 and continue through July 31, if appropriate. Monitoring by park staff and volunteers have determined that all remaining closures can be lifted on July 28, 2023.
Per Matt Coghill: the Golden eagle nesting activity has extended Lumpy closures through Aug. 15, 2022 on Sundance, Thunder Buttress, and Needle Summit!
Per A.Eaton: the raptor closures have been lifted as of 6/4/2022 at Lumpy for the following formations:
Twin Owls
Rock One
Batman Rock
Batman Pinnacle
Checkerboard
Lightning Rock

Description
This route is on the Left Book. It climbs the nice slab to the right of White Whale to a beautiful dihedral.
Pitch 1 - run it out 50 feet or so up a very clean 5.6 slab to the base of the dihedral.
Pitch 2 - Lieback one of the nicest 5.6 dihedrals anywhere, finger and hand sized gear. Belay at the roof.
Pitch 3 - The route is vague here. Either go right on unprotected 5.7 rock or go left on unprotected 5.8ish rock. Don't fall.
Pitch 4 - addendum: Ascend the left side of a bulbous formation with a 5.9 dihedral.
