Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.

Description
Lime Line is a so-so route that would clean up nicely were it frequently done, but as it stands, it gets just 1 star. It has some fun moves here and there interspersed by lichen, and for the most part the gear is good and not spaced out much.
Climb the set of cracks and grooves to the second tree, which as of writing has a fixed sling on it.
To descend, you can add a link to the tree & rap, or lower your partner down the ramp, untie, toss, and downclimb that ramp.
Location
At the far left edge of the bottom of the Lower Ramp, one can traverse out quite a way. You pass a few small, twisted trees before hitting the ends of the ledge, then you either must climb up on some rock and further left, or down and further left to a second gravelly ledge.
From either, climb up and into a set of cracks and grooves that ascend just to the right of the arete, to the second of 2 trees.
