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
Description
This is the result of trying to figure out what the routes here were without photos. Oh for an MP app.
This ascends an obvious line on the short buttress to the left of Seams Thin. It starts in a left-facing dihedral. When wet, the move right can feel tricky. Move up to the minor bulge, which again feels tricky when wet. High step up and top out on broken terrain.
Walk off to the left.
You can do a linkup with Rain Delay for a 5.7 lead or TR. FA: Jay Eggleston.
