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

Description
This is certainly an inviting line and a nice find; however, don't let your guard down until the end, since the crux arrives just before the anchors.
Start just left of a bushed crack-like feature on juggy, bulbous holds. Some gear might calm the nerves if this is at your limit. Note, there is a good-sized flake just down and right of the 1st bolt in the crack-like feature. It didn't come out easily when we checked, but don't rely on it without some protection in or the bolt clipped. Continue up on fun holds to the overlap. Shorter climbers may be stretched to pull over. Play on the face to the left until you get the last bolt clipped. Then stay calm to get the last bit figured out on suddenly much smaller holds to get the top.
