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 Underdog begins far right at Dog House in a nasty dihedral. One can either stem up the dihedral for half the route or pull up on to the exfoliating face for some thrutchy moves on slopers and sidepulls.
It's hard to tell what was the intent of the bolter. The bolts are easily clipped from the dihedral at which point the climber reaches some large chockstones to begin the decent climbing. If climbing the face, it is difficult to remain off the neighboring Dog Run to the left. The face is certainly harder.
After choosing your own adventure through the beginning, enjoy the overhanging hand crack through the roof to the anchors.
The bottom half of this route is truly bad, but the top half is pretty good and a novelty for CCC, so maybe it's worth a try.
