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

Description
Finally after years the bolted line that deviates right from the end anchors of Peer Pressure (listed as a project in the newest guidebook) has been done. It's a bit of a contrived, squeeze job. With that said, it has fantastic moves that are a solid bump in difficulty to the 13a to its left. From the anchors, stay right, clipping the two bolt variation before returning to Peer 42. This felt easy for 13b but much harder than the 13a to its left.
I don't know who bolted this line. It could be the late and great Richard Wright or Tod Anderson (who climbed the left variation).
Location
Climb Peer Pressure to the anchors. Instead of staying left here as one would to continue on Peer 42, bust straight right to a slopey undercling, making a hard move into a small crimper that is obvious by the anchors.... From here, climb straight up the steep wall on perfect edges and crimps clipping the draws out right rather than left. At some points, due to the squeezey-ness of this route, it would be possible to climb left back into Peer 42. Don't do that. Avoid the left arete, and enjoy the large moves on the exposed feeling face. Finish on the same anchors as Peer 42.
