Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure
Details
2023 info:
jeffco.us/1531/Alerts-Closures The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates:
jeffco.us/open-space/parks/… Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.
Description
This climb goes up a crack in a left-facing dihedral. The crack is really tight hands and off-finger sized. At the top of the crack is a small stance where you can clip a bolt. The crux is moving past the bolt. Above the bolt you can place more small cams. The crux involves a small crack and difficult liebacking.
Location
This route is just to the left, west, of
The 26th Letter by about 10'. You can walk off to the right after you are finished.
Protection
1 bolt and a rack up to a #0.75 Camalot. Small cams are good for the top. Anchor off a small tree.
