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
Just right of a large, right-facing corner, climb a deceptive slab to bolt 3. Lean left, clip bolt 4, then unclip 3 to prevent rope drag up higher. Climb left and up through adequately solid but appallingly chossy looking rock to reach a golden panel of rock. Decipher the fingery sequence to reach bolt 9, take a deep breath, and try not to flub the move onto the obvious ledge on the left. Climb a few more feet up a slab, and clip two bolts with chains.
