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:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!
Description
Not a horrid line, but basically one that avoids anything interesting on the wall.
Start in a short, right-facing corner just left of the huge dihedral of Dead Letter Department, just right of a bulge with a short fist-crack. Climb up into the corner and wander your way left and right through multiple but non-continuous crack systems to the top of the wall, passing a dead tree on the right up high. Lots of potential loose rock.
Location
This is the first line encountered immediately left of the huge dihedral Dead Letter Department.
