Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted Details

Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.

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.

Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:

Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!

Description

I top roped this route first before leading.

This route starts with the first two bolts of Wishbone. After the second bolt, trend up and left towards a series of overlaps. The first overlap will protect you if the RP at the second overlap rips. At the second overlap, clip a fixed RP, and make a big move to a good rail (crux). One more hard move and then you can look left for a jug and gear options. Keep climbing upwards, and after you plug your last piece of gear, stay on the face left of the Wishbone anchors. Climbing more to the right is possible, but the lichen will add to the excitement.

There is a lot of runout climbing, but there are a few spots for gear. It is easily toproped from the Wishbone anchors.
