jeffco.us/open-space/alerts… 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.

Evil Area
Ghost Crag
Highlander
Skinny Legs
Stumbling Block
Tetanus Garden

Description
Thin sustained crimps, cool movement, and intricate footwork lead up a steep line. Avoid the bailout left and stay on course through the last clip for full value.
A two bolt variation to start adds to the fun; Snake Eyes comes in from the left, starting just right of
Turkey Jerky, and pulls through two amazing huecos to clip the second bolt on Ghost.
Protection
8 bolts to anchors, 9 bolts with Snake Eyes start.

Below that bolt there are 3 pretty good crimps...but no chalk on the direct line above. Everyone seems to go slightly left. Is this the bailout'? Or is the bailout going way left? Jul 23, 2012

Sorry it took so long to respond to your post.... The bailout is near the second to last bolt, if you cut left there the final crux can be avoided, but you end up so far to the left, it becomes difficult to clip the final protection bolt. If you've climbed right up to the final bolt and clipped it, you're on route for sure! Sep 4, 2012

Exciting onsight attempt for those looking to test their mid-11 skills. Great project for those looking to push the grade.
Agreed with Weston. This isn't pumpy by any means, highly technical. Those breaking into 11+ will find this tough to send in 1 session. First attempt for onsight felt 11c while the second attempt did feel closer at 11b. Either way, I think this earns solid 5.11 if we're using the plus/minus scale. Aug 5, 2019
