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
Pitch one, two cruxes, first comes about 20 ft off the ground when transitioning out of the crack to a better stance. Second is pulling over the roof towards the end. Big hold and a twist helps. .10c
Pitch two, more vertical going up the column face. Hard to find holds lead to another roof, somewhat easier than the one on the first pitch. .11c
It is definitely a two rope rap.
Protection
Pitch 1: 10 bolts and anchors.
Pitch 2: 9 bolts and anchors.
Flagstaff, AZ
Pitch 2 was something completely different. Very thin and balancy, quite the opposite of the first pitch. The first two bolts are gained by moderate holds. Some very thin moves will get you underneath the roof. I went right at first, using the lichen covered arete with some thin sidepulls, then had to traverse left under the roof. Pulling the roof is a breeze leading to a kick ass belay ledge.
