Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!
Description
This is mostly very good climbing, if you choose the right line. The quality, the crux, and the run-outs all depend on precisely what line you contrive to fit the best features in, but reasonable gear, solid rock, and fun moves can be had for the price of 5.7. It is there if you look for it.
Location
This route starts just uphill of Sickle and Fickle Finger of Eight on the left half of a large slab. Start up in a slightly left-leaning offset and finger crack. As this ends, wander up linking the most attractive features including some corner, arete, face, and crack.
