2018 update: as of April 6, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk are OPEN. Eagle Rock remains closed.
Perennial notice:
Eagle Rock, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress, and Security Risk will close Feb. 1 until July 31 for raptor nesting. Depending on updated information, the closure time can be shortened or lengthened.
Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st through July 31st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates.

Description
Climb the face just left of a right-Facing corner (which ends at a roof). Clip a bolt at the roof, then head up to the next right-facing corner. Stem past two more bolts, and arrive at the somewhat vague upper face. Climb past 4 more bolts and a fair amount of lichen to an anchor with Mussy hooks.
There is still some loose rock and plenty of lichen, but this has the potential to be worthwhile after it cleans up a bit.
It may be 5.8, I'm not good at grading routes.
Also, the crux start can be avoided by traversing into the second bolt from the lower, right-facing corner, but this is even looser.
