Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
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
Access Issue: Closure 8/22/18-10/16/18 7a-5p weekdays
Details
Front Range Climbing Stewards in collaboration with JeffCo will initiate a special project to move the High Wire access trail away from above the Tunnel 2 entrance. High Wire, Low Wire, Higher Wire, and Wall of Justice crags will be closed M-F from 7 am to 5 pm while the crew is working. Access to the crags at this time will be prohibited. Until further notice, weekend access is still allowed.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as work is done to make the High Wire approach safer for all!
Description
This is a touch harder than its neighbor, Groove Town. A compression start off the ground followed by a tricky move leads to more fun, jug hauling. This route and Groove Town (just to the left) converge at the 3rd bolt. Unlike Groove Town, you'll need a stick clip for the first bolt to avoid a nasty tumble into the creek.
Groove Town shares the 3rd and 4th bolts of this route along with the anchors.
Location
This is the right one of the two lowest routes down by the water at Low Wire. As the guidebook shows a picture from across the creek, this and Groove Town are technically the two farthest right routes in the Low Wire area, even though they are all the way down by the water.
This route is the closest you'll get to climbing over the water at Low Wire.
Head down the fixed line to a nice staging area, then scramble down to another staging area just below and closer to the water. (If you are looking up the fixed line, this area is down to the right by the water.)
