Access Issue: New Emergency Closure but 2018 Raptor Closure is Lifted
Details
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 "F3" route is one of Roach's Flatiron classics. It probably made the list due to the length of the climb, position in the canyon, and the easy climbing. I personally did not find this climb to be that enjoyable. There is some good climbing on the route, but there is a lot of bad rock and lichen. We had planned to simul-climb this route, but the up and down steps on the ridge creates a lot of rope drag. Roach says this climb is about 600ft long, but it is probably closer to 750ft.
Approach this climb by hiking between the Overture and Dinosaur Rock. Head down the gully to the south, passing the southern ridge on the Overture. The south ridge route will have a 20 foot arch on the ridge line at 120 ft. Pretty much follow the ridge line for 750ft. When you run into headwalls head left. At a group of trees at the 500ft level, you will join the Free Shot route.
Descent: A one rope rap off a horn to the north will put you on the ground. Find a hole to squeeze through to get to hiking territory.
