Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:
Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
This is VERY well-protected, a nice route for beginning leader at the grade. It is a little dirty with lichen and road dust but overall a fun route with good holds and options the entire way up.
The first bolt is an easy 5.6 towards the right side of the face, then move up left towards the 2nd bolt. There is no real crux, just fun, well-protected moves the entire way up.
We rapped down from the 2 bolts at the base of the chimney and kinda barely made it to the ground with rope stretch on a 70m. It is recommended to walk off to the east after you top out through the super easy chimney.

Location
This ascends the face right of the large roofs, just left of the left-facing corner. (I will add pics next time we drive by.)
Protection
6 bolts to 2 bolt anchor (there was another bolt leading into the easy chimney above).
Per James Schroeder: there are 12 bolts and a 2 bolt anchor these days.
