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
Description
First route on the left. Starts in less than stellar, pale colored rock. Stick clip the first bolt and then climb up some friable rock, or enter from the left via a traverse to the right. The most interesting feature and saving grace of this route is a tight lay-away after 20 ft that is accomplished with a nice series of technical switches in body position; better if you are short. Finishing this interesting sequence gains a stance on the left. The rest of the route climbs up some very slopey features on bullet proof stone. We stayed a bit left of the seam, although this section climbs nicely on very tenuous feet.
