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:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Description
Grab good holds to climb over a bulge 2 meters up (5.10a) and then good holds above. A slightly right-leaning, small ramp like feature leads up for 25' to a ledge (good stopper placement possible, but no gear until there, prob 5.9-) there is a medium-sized tree on the 3' ledge a few meters right of that bomber stopper....
Climb up a few face moves to reach a thin seam with good nubs and crimps and to a 3-finger side-pull in the seam. A small Alien placement would be possible, but you want the hold! The route crux (10a again) is a big move off the crimp and monos with OK feet after that slot, near the top.
The route is probably 5.10a or 10b, 2-star or 3-star out of 4. As a sport climb, if bolted, it would be 3-star for sure, but presently the insecure climbing with so little gear detracts from the overall experience.
