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 Good Earth is an improbable looking line that climbs quite well. Begin 20 feet right of Hunting Party following bolts up, then right through the overhang (crux). Then follow the left line of bolts above.
Location
We began excavating the area right of Hunting Party on Earth Day (4/22/2014). Because of that, we have named this area The Earth Wall. Hence, the naming convention. All of the routes tend to have a common theme. These have hard starts to an easy middle to interesting finishes. The rock is better than it looks as we removed the bad rock. There may still be some crispy/dirty holds. Be aware of the sun. In the summer sun, it can be extremely hot.
