Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.
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:

Description
An alternate to the 3rd pitch of Ignominity, 3 meters left.
From below the 3rd pitch of Ignominity, go left a few meters more on the big, rubble ledge and pull up onto the face and past a short high-angle section at a very odd shallow flake/pocket in the wall (side pull) and go up and left a move to a solid fingerlock and get gear. Continue up the crack and face above (5.7, R) to a good horizontal (thin handjams) before a slight scoop in the slab. Mantle into the scoop and climb a few more feet up and right to just below the tree and belay. A very nice pitch in all. Just as good as P3 of Ignominity.
