Tunnel 1 closure

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
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
Although Tater Tot is only 25 feet tall, its steepness, thuggy moves, and rock quality make this route a worthy challenge.
Start to the right of the first bolt on the arete and move left using slopers, kneebars, and underclings. Once in the roof, make a couple of more burly moves past the second bolt, and top out on easier terrain.
There is a ramp to the left of this climb that never felt like a safety issue, but to avoid an accident an attentive belay should be given to climbers at the second bolt.
I hope you guys enjoy it!
