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 on this is about thirty feet up. You can't get any protection till about twenty feet up (a small cam). There is not much protection till near the top. This is a better top-rope climb than a lead climb. It has a few ledges near the top, but it is certainly a slab in the beginning.
Location
This route is about ten feet to the right of Number 5 Crack. It follows a thin seam which looks a bit like a crack.
Walk off to the south (right) from the top.
