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. If the eagles choose different nesting sites, the closures will be adjusted accordingly to protect those eagles during their breeding season.
Currently, rock climbing areas that fall inside of the seasonal raptor closures include:
Blonde Formation
Bumbling Stock
Evil Area
Ghost Crag
Highlander
Skinny Legs
Stumbling Block
Tetanus Garden
Fault Caves
Description
Ignore the V0- in the rating. It is a typo that I could not remove.
The crux is the exposed upper headwall. There are several loose blocks, but otherwise it is a good adventure for the 5.8 trad leader.
P1. Climb the small crack for 15', traverse right on small ledge, then go up a crack system to 2 bolt anchor (55').
P2. Go up the slot above the anchors, trending left to avoid loosely attached block. Continue up easy rock for 40 feet, then attack the headwall via hand and finger cracks. Avoid a loosely attached block at the top (140').
Descent: we walked 100' West to the anchors atop Epidote.
