The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates: jeffco.us/open-space/parks/…
Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.
Description
A beautiful slab climb located up and left of "Turkey Foot Crack" on Sunshine Wall. Follow the line of bolts up the steep slab gaining a rest near the fourth bolt. Steep slab climbing and small crimps lie ahead. Fight your way past the last bolt and reach a crack were things mellow out. Place a #1 camalot and meander up to a good ledge and the anchor. It is excellent slab and face climbing on a clean piece of rock.
