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 crux comes right from the start. The rock here is somewhat polished and the holds are small. I think it is harder than 10c, but that is what it is rated in the newest guidebook. You can get small cams in about 10 feet up (really small). Above this, the climbing gets easier and you pass an old bolt without a hanger. The top joins "Creek Corner," and the two routes share the same anchor.
