Emergency Raptor Closure of Der Freischutz and surrounding formations:
OSMP is enacting a closure to protect cliff nesting raptors at Der Freischutz on Dinosaur Mountain — please see the attached map. The closure includes the BUBBLE and the Dinosaur Eggs formations.
On Wednesday of this week, OSMP staff and volunteers observed that the prairie falcon pair that typically occupies Bear Creek Spire had relocated to the Der Freischutz formation.
The pair’s timing is in the ballpark that if they succeed and fledge young, the formation will open with other closures on or about July 31st.
As a result of the move, OSMP is lifting the closure for Bear Creek Spire.
Those approaching Overhang Rock from Mallory Cave trail will need to approach from Bear Creek Spire going forward or until Bear Canyon trail is reopened.
Description
This "F2" east face route is a Flatiron classic. It starts near the northeast corner of the rock. Follow a ledge system that traverses the east face to the southern ridge line (200 feet). Continue with the southern ridge for another 200 feet to the summit. There are nice views of Fee, Fi, Fo, and Fum from the summit. A recommended start to this climb is to start with one of the routes on the Overture.
Descent: There are three ways to get down. 1.) Downclimb the Free Shot route. 2.) Rap off of a horn to the north (50 feet). Then dive down between the boulders in a hidden passage way. This can be down climbed at 5.4. 3.) Rap off of the bolts of one of the sport climbs on the southwest face.
