It's likely few climber go there, but it may affect the adventurous.
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
On May 6, 2012, I led my wife, Jeana, up a climb immediately right of Cracking Up. Stem an alcove up to and over a chockstone that dams a pond of rubble. Place a #0.5 Camalot in a horizontal. Move up and left to the base of a 4-inch crack in a right-facing dihedral. Place a #0.75 Camalot to the left, in a horizontal. Climb crack to top (5.8-). I didn't have a 3 1/2-inch (or bigger) piece, so I placed a wobbly, tipped-out #3 Cam in a narrower space and excavated lichen from a small, shallow, horizontal pocket for a red C3. I also excavated lichen from a key right-angling crimp the on right wall of the dihedral. Don't arouse the rubble!
Location
This is in an alcove immediately right of Cracking Up. I rapped from the old, poor-quality cold-shuts atop Cracking Up, after placing gear on top to anchor me while I threaded the rope through the shuts, which are a couple feet below the rim. After toproping CU, I retrieved the gear.
