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
Climb the overhanging, orange face on the right wall of the dihedral. It is hard and crimpy down low with a few jugs in the middle. Arc right onto the prow near the top, finishing with a problematic mantle. The space between bolts 2 and 3 isn't as terrible as it looks--you'll clip from a huge jug--still, the belayer should be alert here. The mantle could be the crux, but it becomes nearly automatic once you figure it out.
