Per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:
Eldorado Canyon SP is STRONGLY DISCOURAGING CLIMBING at this time due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Climbing is NOT ADVISED. Social distancing is challenging in Eldorado Canyon SP with climbing. The park office is closed. Warnings (& possible evictions from the SP) may be issued for violations of the social distancing requirement for a minimum of 6 feet between people not in the same household. In addition, touching surfaces contacted by others, which occurs on climbing routes and between climbing partners sharing equipment & rope(s), is a risk.
Rescues related to this sport are highly technical, require a large number of rescue personnel and equipment, and they generally result in an ambulance ride to the hospital. Please respect the statewide state-at-home order.
Seasonal Raptor Closures

Description
Mixing the amazing first pitch of Break on Through with the second pitch of Chianti makes an awesome 5.8+ link while avoiding the 10c difficulties of Break on Through.
Though just a linkup of popular climbs, this is so good it is worthy of a separate entry, and provides a good opportunity to get on Break on Through for those not up for the second pitch.
See each route for the pitch descriptions. This is suitable for 5.8/9 leaders, the pro is great, and there are many rests between short (but very steep) cruxes.
