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
Start far down and right of the giant roof that Mourning Glory is on. Start up poor quality, broken rock for a high first clip. Clear an easy bulge to much better rock. Using long draws on the second and third clip will help reduce drag on this wandering route. Traverse left to where the harder climbing starts. Big holds and big moves lead you to the crux at the last clip.
Location
Start on a ledge lower down and right than the ledge where Mourning Glory starts. You might want to set up a natural anchor for your belayer, since the ledge is pretty sketchy.
