CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 2 (E of Tunnel 2). In 2016, the closure WAS lifted June 9 for ONLY the 2016 season, per Eric Krause, JeffCo OS Ranger. Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

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.

Access Issue: Private Property - be aware & respectful Details

Per Tzilla Rapdrilla: Primo is actually on private land.

Update: per Daniel Dunn, Stewardship Manager, Boulder Climbing Community ((803) 443-8822): this crag is on private property. The landowners are aware of the climbing on their property and continue to allow access for rock climbers. It is critical for long term access that everyone who climbs here is respectful and does their part to keep the crag in good shape. For more information on how to be a good steward, check out the Climber's Pact from Access Fund.

Description

Climb up a right-leaning ramp/slab while working the overhung wall to gain some nice jugs. After clipping the 2nd bolt move up with your left hand to gain a sloper, and then the climb is on as you bust out right to a huge jug. Work the steep face and arete past the (crux) section (bolts 4/5). Finish by pulling up on to the final head wall to clip the chains on your right.

This line offers delightful dynamic movements up a steep face and arete. This would make for a great warm-up for some of the more challenging routes at the wall as of current.

Location

This is located on the right side of "The Primo Wall." Currently it is the route is the line just after "Moving Out."

Protection

5 draws. 2 for the anchor, but as of today the chains currently have clips on them.

Interesting route on good rock. Steep with pretty good holds, tricky around the 3rd bolt. Nice to have an additional warm up at Primo instead of jumping from 10s to 12s and up! Jan 3, 2010

Great addition to the primo wall luke. Fun jug hauling with a couple of moves that aren't gimmie's. A great warm up as it's slightly overhanging and delivers a bit more pump than the other warm ups. Definitely going to be added into the routine from now on. Jan 9, 2010

The moves heading out right when leaving the ledge are fun, but moving out far left at this point is forced. I had trouble figuring out whether the route actually moved out left, or was better for the bolt placements. Either way moving straight up was just as easy to clip the bolts at the top. I went up the route both ways just to see the intention of the route. How about putting some colored tape on the holds next time! J/K of course. Jul 23, 2011

The hanger on the 4th bolt was missing yesterday. The bolt is still there though. So now it's only 3 bolts and chains. Oct 8, 2013

There seems to be a hanger missing. There's a bolt, and it doesn't look broken. Does anyone know if this was an intentional removal (to add some spice) to what seems likes a 10+ climb? May 14, 2017

The fourth bolt has a hanger again.

I got on this climb for the first time last weekend, and I too came across the missing hanger on the fourth bolt. I looked here and see that it has been missing for close to five years and seemingly without a reason for it being stripped. So, I went out a couple days later and replaced the hanger and nut. Clip away, y'all! Jul 20, 2018
