Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted Details

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.

Description

Slab climbing under the crux roof of Tagger. No gear and definitely S rated. A fun variation to Roofed Out or the second pitch of Across the River from Butt Hair.

Location

This is the slab left of the second pitch of Across the River From Butt Hair and right of the second pitch dihedral of Tagger. It connects with the rotten walk-off band of the north-side routes of the South West Face of the Wind Tower.

Protection

Standard rack. Bring small Stoppers to build an anchor at the top.

Rather then going Left into the dihedral that Tigger and Tagger share you go straight up the slab directly above the ledge at the top of the first pitch of Tagger then connects to the right side of the second pitch roof of Tagger. May 3, 2007
