Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!
Description
This route moves up the face just to the left of 5.8 crack. Follow the directions to 5.8 Crack at Rincon (or 5.10 Crack or Rincon itself) and look just to the right. There are 2 huge buckets just behind the large tree to start this route.
The initial moves are an awkward start, not so much for their inherent difficulty, but for trying to avoid leaning back on the tree.
After 20' or so of somewhat hard moves, the route becomes less defined. The rock forced me to the left slightly, nearly onto 5.8 Crack on my first try. On my second try I forced the line to the right and fell a few times. The route seems to be never done and the difficulty and lichen present would suggest that the route does move slightly left.
Protection
Well, you can step left every so often and place gear in "5.8 crack" or you can turn around and girth hitch a tree behind you with long slings. The tree is uncomfortably close (it is hard not to lean on it) for the first 10 feet and then gets too far away after 30' up. Really, this is best TR'd from the tree on the ledge and to the left above 5.8 crack.
