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
June 7, 2021 - TBD: Highway 6 is currently doing full road closures from Sunday night to Friday morning every week. The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.
Sundays: 7PM-4AM Monday-Thursday: 4PM-4AM

[Hide Comment] Come'on now, Brian, you need to clean up these posts a bit. We want a route description, not a grade debate with yourself!, and where the hell are all the pictures? Seems like these routes would be very photogenic! Nice job on all the new routes here, man!!

[Hide Comment] Is that better, Jay? So you would like me to spend 70 hrs a week bolting, cleaning and brushing the routes, but you don't want to come down and trade belays or brush any holds or take any pictures, but you would like me to hire a photographer too so you can see pictures? I debated even adding these routes to the date base on Mountain Project at all to avoid any form of criticism. I spent over $1,000 on a drill, bolts, hangers, quicklinks, binners, webbing, brushes, etc. Then spent at least 40+ hrs a week (for several weeks straight) hanging in my harness all by myself with ZERO support from ANYBODY, so sorry if there is not a perfect route description or nice photos, but I have been a little busy ;o) May 19, 2011

I hear ya on this one. Putting up routes in CCC is a lot of work. After excavating about 60 routes there myself, it's good to see someone picking up & getting in some of the harder lines....

[Hide Comment] You're the man, Brian. Keep up the good work. Maybe one day I'll be strong enough to enjoy some of these beasts you're putting up. :)
