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 another little line on the left side of this crag. On the 3rd trip, after getting rained off a time or two, this line finally got a human ascent. It turns out to be a bit more interesting than you'd expect from below.
Start up a crack ~10 feet left of a left-facing dihedral. Be gentle with some hollow-ish flakes low. Traverse right on a ledge. Gain the dihedral and make some more-delicate moves upward. You can girth hitch some boulder constrictions for an anchor.
This probably needs a good downpour or more scrubbing to get it fully clean.
Walk off to the left.
