Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
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
Fault Caves
Description
This is a nice warm-up for the cliff. It is the furthest right of the 5 climbs on the cliff and faces East.
It's best to park at the West end of tunnel 2 and hike to tunnel 3. Then head south about 200 yards to the cliff. Ascend a brief scree gully. Start next to the spray painted name on the rock. A #2 Camalot or #3 Friend is nice for the belay.
Clip 7-8 reasonably-spaced bolts using big holds on solid rock. The crux is pulling past the bulge between the 3rd and 4th bolts. Either lieback or use a big stem. Note, the finish has slick rock. The anchors do sit a bit back from the top and are widely-spaced likely due to the rock quality. This shares the anchor with Hours for Dollars. Apparently, this has cleaned up over the years. Watch for sharp burrs from plant material when you pull your rope.
