Project Work Resumes Nov. 13 Following Summer Shutdown
On Tuesday, Nov. 13, crews will resume work on this project, starting with rockfall mitigation on US 6 from mile points 260 to 272. Remaining work, anticipated to be completed in April 2019, includes:
scaling rock; removing scaled rock; and installing rock reinforcement, rock anchors, mesh anchors, and 160,000 squat feet of wire mesh.

Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31

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

Per ErikaNW: Clear Creek Canyon High Wire crag will be closed on weekdays from August 22 to October 16!
Front Range Climbing Stewards in collaboration with JeffCo will initiate a special project to move the High Wire access trail away from above the Tunnel 2 entrance. High Wire, Low Wire, Higher Wire, and Wall of Justice crags will be closed M-F from 7 am to 5 pm while the crew is working. Access to the crags at this time will be prohibited. Until further notice, weekend access is still allowed.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as work is done to make the High Wire approach safer for all!

Description
Hanging Judge escapes left from the route The Great Escape. Clip two of the same bolts before heading into a long left reach to jugs and fun, thuggy moves pulling over the lip. This is a nice taste of Justice. It has good rock, good moves, and is a bit longer than Officer Friendly, but it is still a short route.
Protection
Per Jeff Welch: "5 bolts, fixed draws on all, and fixed lowering biners at the anchors above the lip."

I pulled some broken rocks out from behind one of the holds, which consequently made it much bigger/better. I didn't intend to change the route, but this hold is definitely better now that you can get your fingers in there. The entire hold seems to only have so much time left before the whole things blows out as well.
Highly recommended route, even if your there for some of the stiffer climbs. A must do. Oct 21, 2009

I climbed this line today and noticed a serious safety issue with the fixed quickdraws. All of the fixed draws have aluminum biners and all of the biners have warn groves in the basket. The penetration range is from 25-40%. Keep in mind that the sharp edges produced in these biners can cut your rope in half if you fall and get a hard catch. Even if you do not get a hard catch, you can still get a core shot from warn biners. It has happened in a number of different areas, most notably the RRG. Do not underestimate the danger presented by excessively warn biners. Jul 20, 2012

Replaced carabiner on 2nd draw with aluminum CAMP wiregate. Worn about 1/2 through with sharp edges on either side.
Also donated oval wire gate to anchor for lowering, not psyched on loose left bolt at anchor.
The CAMP 'biner should be replaced with steel if anyone has a spare, it won't last long as that is the draw with the most drag while lowering. Nov 4, 2018
