From the NFS (2/3/25): Seasonal restrictions to protect nesting birds of prey
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Feb. 3, 2025) – To protect nesting birds of prey, the Roosevelt National Forest began implementing annual closures in several popular recreation areas within the Canyon Lakes and Boulder Ranger Districts on Feb 1, 2025.
On the Canyon Lakes Ranger District, the closure areas include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details.
The Roosevelt National Forest works closely with partners like Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Boulder Climbing Community and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.
Per Ben Scott:
We got yet anothervoluntary bird closure, more golden eagles.
They are above the routes Kestrel Corner and Battle Wound on the Northwest Face, but of course, the NF has just made the entire crag closed.
The closure is voluntary, so you will not be ticketed at this time.

Description
Sunshine and Solitude climbs cracks on the face of the buttress then moves around the left arete to the steep left face. It is steep with thought provoking moves.
P1) 5.11a. Anchor your belayer at the base of the buttress, then climb a small pillar to cracks on the face. Follow the cracks to a bolt on the arete then up past three more bolts to the bolted anchor.
