Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:

Description
Located on the far right side of the Rotwand Wall, this route climbs steep and rotten rock between the obvious cave and the spillway before exiting into a white and slightly more solid dihedral. The crux lies within the initial 20 or so feet off the ground where the rock is steepest and quite loose. Upon gaining the upper dihedral, the difficulty eases off considerably and the rock quality becomes decent. Belay and then rappel from the remains of an old observation platform atop the wall.
