Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31
Visit: jeffco.us/open-space/news/2…
Tunnel 1 closure
For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…
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
Description
Passing Lane is located just right of the Overpass arete. Start up a fun, blocky face past three bolts. The route's crux is gaining the slabby face above the fourth bolt. Rolofson's guide suggests that this route could use an additional bolt, but I thought that it was well protected all the way to the anchors. It is a fun route. Again, a there's a little rope drag if you top rope or lower off this one.

Which was around a ~45' runout beyond bolt 4 at ~40' (putting this route solidly in X territory). It was easy terrain but still deserving a bolt or two, it was 5th class.
Not sure if we both just missed the bolts, or if some hangers were stolen, but we looked for bolts 5-7 with no luck. Apr 24, 2014
