Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures/CDOT Road Work
Details
Please be aware of the annual raptor seasonal closures!
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31
Visit: jeffco.us/open-space/news/2…
Tunnel 1 closure
For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…
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
June 7, 2021 - TBD: Highway 6 is currently doing full road closures from Sunday night to Friday morning every week. The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.
Sundays: 7PM-4AM
Monday-Thursday: 4PM-4AM

Description
This epic line is perhaps the best of its grade in Clear Creek, and among the best on the Front Range. The route is pure enduro jug-hauling, remarkably continuous, with excellent rock and the best view in the cave. It seems that just about every move on this route is hard enough to be interesting, and yet there are just enough rests to keep the pump manageable. The movement is exquisite, involving wild ninja foot-trickery and big moves between big holds, culminating in several committing slaps.
Begin by stemming and slabbing straight up from the bottleneck. Surmount the steeply right-leaning dihedral with a short bit of not-too-bad Bunker weirdness. Shake on the perched slab, then punch up through the first overlap to an unusual matching pretzel sequence below the pegmatite band. Big moves clear the bulge to a good stance below the impressive final roof. Slap out the ceiling with huge spans, heel hooks and toecams, ultimately working left along pumpy slopers to reach Thank God jugs just below the lip of the cave.

Location
Front and center in the main cave, heading straight up from The Bottleneck (or, between Valkyrie and Full Metal Jacket). The FA was belayed from the Dirt Ledge with double-length slings on the first two bolts and a revolver biner on the 3rd, but the most logical belay is the stance below The Bottleneck.
