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
The crux of this route is at the bottom near the first two bolts. The first bolt is easy to clip off a large jug at the top of the overhang. The first ascentionists call the start a "boulder problem", and I would have to agree. You have to clip the second bolt off of a small hold, and it feels a bit insecure. The route above the first two bolts is about 5.8 in difficulty and is very fun. Every time it looks hard a good hold seems to appear.
