Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.
Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Description
Located less than 100 yards above the lower parking lot, Most Honorable Hose Bag follows a difficult to distinguish, left-rising weakness towards a large groove at the top of the wall. Protection is almost non-existent, with what little found most likely not worthy of holding a fall. I found no pro in the last 35' to 40', with a fall from the top likely a grounder.
Broken rock, difficult route finding, and the scarcity of protection make this route a serious undertaking; however, a confident and experienced Eldo climber should have little trouble. Step lightly, pull gently, and enjoy the "experience" of climbing this route!
