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
Climb just left of the iron curtain that covers the wall. Sidepulls and incut crimps lead up to the cable you have to climb under. This has fun, easy climbing but probably needs to be cleaned and climbed more.
The construction workers graciously left both my climbs on this wall intact. You can see where they scraped the wall with the excavator bucket mere inches from the bolts I put in. They could have easily scraped my bolts right off.
Caution
A MP.com user suggests that climbing behind the steel curtain could be a nightmare for access concerns. The whole crag could easily get shut down to begin with, since it's right on the new bike path, and people climbing those two routes is just an invitation to give them a great excuse to close access to the crag!
