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
While exploring this route, we found an old Oyster shell on the belay ledge. I imagine that it was the remainder of a romantic picnic lunch shared by a bold couple 20 years ago.
The crux is a series of lay back moves from the second bolt to past the third. The roof near the top has sharp positive holds and is a grade easier than the crux.
Location
The Oyster Bar is right of PTO and left of Creek Nation. It starts just right of the gully/crack system that PTO crosses.
