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
Ascend a fun slab with more features than there appear to be from the ground. Negotiate an easy section of rock to a #0.75-1 sized crack below a bolt. Plug in a piece of gear, and maneuver your way up to through a featured dihedral to a juggy finishing headwall. This is a very fun route.
Eds. The originally submitted name was Dirt Trek. It was changed to Earth Trek with the input from Ken Trout.
Protection
11 (confirmed by Trevor Murphy) bolts + #1 Camalot and a 2 bolt anchor.
Per Ken Trout: the original cam placement, out left, protecting the moves to the last bolt, is no longer needed. A new bolt allows climbing out right on better rock.
After lowering, pull the rope from the right over by Berga. Pull hard to keep the rope from slithering like a snake onto the midway ledge. If your rope tumbles onto the ledge, there is a good chance the rope will hitch itself several times around a saddle horn flake on the ledge.
