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

Description
Jam Con is a good finish to Morning Thunder but not much of a route otherwise. Short overhanging jams are cool... for 20' of climbing. Morning Thunder runs directly into this with no belay required. The route requires the judicious use of slings and pro placement, but it makes Morning Thunder a bit longer and more fun, perhaps, then bordering on 3 stars as a single pitch.
From the top of Morning Thunder, continue up and right under a pod/roof and climb up and out from that to the right of a huge boulder. Overhanging jams are key. Belay up over the top of this, perhaps with some rope drag.
