Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.
Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:

Description
This is a worthy route on the far right side of Split Block. The start is jamming a crack through a bulge, well-protected. Then you have a long face climb with good hands and feet and decent protection. This is Not a climb you can sew up; rather, there is protection, but it is well spaced.
I used all the TCU's from 00 - 3.
This is clearly not climbed often; it's a bit lichen-y and dirty, and you have to be careful of the rock at the start, but it was a fun climb, and a good warmup for the best line on Split Block: Ohmer's Odyssey.
Easy walk off to the right.
