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 an obvious line connecting cracks up the middle of the crag. It's easier than it looks, but it has a decent amount of fragile and detached flakes, so tug carefully.
Move up below a funky, proboscis-like bulge. Pass it on the left. Continue through another short crack. Pay attention to the flakes as you tug from here to the top.
There is a tall boulder and tree a bit further back to use for an anchor. We went to the Tetherly Designs line to rap off, but it is decently exposed. You may be able to walk off to the right.
For me, the abundance loose features made it hard to give it a star.
