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 route is not bad if you are in the area and gives you easy access to the bolt anchor if you wish to top-rope something harder. The crux is in the big left-facing dihedral near the top. There is lots of protection on the climb. It is a fairly interesting route close to the road and Golden itself.
Location
This is on the first rock you come to in the area. It's not very big, but it looks like the most climbable rock in the area.
You start on easy rock to the left of a steep face with graffiti. There is a tree close to the rock at the start. There are broken cracks here, and you head to the right as you climb until you are in a big, left-facing dihedral.
There is a two bolt anchor to descend from at the top.
