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
June 7, 2021 - TBD: Highway 6 is currently doing full road closures from Sunday night to Friday morning every week. The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.
Sundays: 7PM-4AM Monday-Thursday: 4PM-4AM
Description
Bouncer starts under the dark overhanging face right of Slot Machine and shares a start and finish with Wild Card. Stay left on the arete after the third clip. This variation avoids the spooky climbing on Wild Card while getting you to the same anchor.
Location
Bouncer starts under the dark overhanging face right of Slot Machine which is right of P3 of People's Choice.
Protection
Ten draws and a rope. Shares anchor with Wild Card.
[Hide Comment] Really enjoyed the position and exposure of this one. Steep and somewhat physical start leads to a slabby and slightly heady finish. Underrated.
