Tunnel 1 closure

The two areas Jefferson County Open Space intends to close in Clear Creek Canyon, shown on the attached maps, encompass the active eagle nests. If the Clear Creek eagles continue to nest in the active nests, these areas will remain closed from February 1 through July 31. If the eagles choose different nesting sites, the closures will be adjusted accordingly to protect those eagles during their breeding season.
Currently, rock climbing areas that fall inside of the seasonal raptor closures include:
Blonde Formation
Bumbling Stock
Evil Area
Ghost Crag
Highlander
Skinny Legs
Stumbling Block
Tetanus Garden
Fault Caves
Description
Cornered Again is just right of the rarely climbed 5.12d and two lines right of Skipping Stones, and the fifth route counting left to right. (N.B.: a much harder line was established on the right and about the same time as CA and it ascends through a parallel crack system at 20 feet.) CA climbs a flake and corner system to a small roof and slab just below the anchor. Strenuous climbing in the entry moves gives way to more relaxed climbing above. CA is well protected and offers several good rests between cruxes. The route crux arose in the first four clips.
