2018 update: as of April 6, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk are OPEN. Eagle Rock remains closed.
Perennial notice:
Eagle Rock, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk will close Feb. 1 until July 31 for raptor nesting. Depending on updated information, the closure time can be shortened or lengthened.
Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st through July 31st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates.

Description
Jazz is the first route that starts around the corner to the right of Qs. Stick clip the first bolt. Layaways, face holds, and finger jams take you past the first bolt (crux) and to a strenuous second clip. Make a big, somewhat awkward, move left to the corner. Then climb up to the third bolt and the easier climbing that takes you to the anchor.

The crux isn't off the start...or boulder. It's keeping the pump low till the top. One good rest below the last bolt. Sep 7, 2016
