2018 update: as of April 6, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk are OPEN. Eagle Rock remains closed.
Perennial notice:
Eagle Rock, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk will close Feb. 1 until July 31 for raptor nesting. Depending on updated information, the closure time can be shortened or lengthened.
Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st through July 31st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates.

Description
The route follows a double crack system (mostly thin crack) on a steep face. It is shown in the D'Antonio guide, where it is given the very incorrect rating of 5.8. The climbing consists of a mix of crack and face moves.
Location
This route is on the left side of the cliff, 10 feet left of Mind Shaft Crack Middle, and to the right of the big, right-facing dihedral.
