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.
