Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
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:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!
Description
Go up above the Bastille to reach the Petit Bastille. On the very right hand edge of the roadcut (while facing South), you will see a tiny curved dihedral that leads up the East side of the arete to cracks on the arete on the West side. Climb up to and through this dihedral protecting with a few small nuts and maybe a tiny cam. A crack appears on the right for more of the same pro. Pull up and right on thin cracks to the arete and to the cracks on both sides of it, following the thin wall upward to eventually gain the top of the rock. When the rock slopes back up top, continue maybe 5 meters over the edge to a bomb-proof belay seat and good gear.
There is some poor rock and poor pro down low, but the moves are really quite good. 1 star overall.
To descend, walk up the ridge to the South, then down the West end. This is MUCH better than the way off to the east.
