Access Issue: New Emergency Closure
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 another short, strenuous sport climb found on an overhanging WSW wall of the Bubble. Combined with Hot Spit, Sneak Preview, Cloud Walker, Lucy & Devi Go Mousing, Drugs, Bidoigt, Rock & Roll, and the hueco climbs of WSW Dinosaur Rock, you can find some gravitational challenges for the moderate climber in this vicinty.
Find this on the WSW face of The Bubble, which lies just West of North Dinosaur Egg. Approach via NCAR to the Mesa Trail, South to Bear Canyon Trail, up (North) the gully between the 2nd and 3rd strata.
The basic beta is sidepull, move feet up, repeat. OK, this may be boring perhaps, but the sidepulls vary. Taping your left Achilles and left 3rd & 4th fingers may be useful. This route climbs steeper than it looks. The crux is after the 3rd bolt involving small holds for liebacks. A stick clip is facile and perhaps useful. The 3rd piece of protection is a drilled angle, reminiscent of Garden of the Gods or the desert. It seems solid. The anchors are a pair of coldshuts. The rock is rough and fluffs up the rope when weighted on TR. Rap the route. It is 35 feet long.
