Access Issue: Please Obey Speed Limits & Rim Rock Trail Closure Details

Rim Rock Trail at N. Table Mt. Park is closed Feb. through July 31 to protect raptor nesting territory and ground-nesting bird habitat.

It's likely few climber go there, but it may affect the adventurous.

Access Issue: Raptor nesting closures April 2026 Details

Per Michelle Desrosiers: greetings, climbers. Jefferson County Parks and Open Space is implementing temporary closures on a few routes in this area to protect nesting raptors:

The following rock climbing routes in the North Quarry/Pinnacle Area are temporarily closed:

Unknown A, Wide Pride, Unknown B, Catching the Quarry, Burly Man, Unknown C, Boobalaty, Unknown D, and Cracking Up (route names from Fixed Pin Guidebook).

This closure is in place to minimize disturbance during the nesting season. We appreciate your cooperation in helping protect local wildlife. The routes will reopen once nesting activity has concluded. jeffco.us/1427/North-Table-….

Description

The crux (for me) was getting off the ground. Some creative stemming then maybe a chimney type move will get you to jugs atop a chockstone. Then scramble up onto the ledge under the big roof. A perfect #3 fits at the top of the corner and a #4.5 or modern #5 is perfect in the roof (a #6 is too big). Time to get burly. Undercling out the roof and head up the crack. Turning the corner is a little awkward and is probably the real crux. Another #5 would protect the top but isn't completely needed as the difficulty ends when you pull around the roof. You can step left to the Catching the Quarry anchor to lower. The guidebook says to use the anchor to the right, but you can't get there from here, and they are not equipped for rappelling anyway. I listed this with the guidebook rating, but it didn't feel nearly as hard as the name suggests. In fact, it's quite a bit easier than the 5.8s @ the East Quarry!

Location

This route is around the corner to the right from Catching the Quarry. Start in a giant, right-facing corner with the obvious crack that goes out the left side of an overhang.
