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
Another potential warm-up option, this line is almost entirely jugs, but a difficult clip and “beached-whale” mantel sequence at the very top detract from the experience. The rock is relatively solid, though dirty, hosting several aviary toilets.
Begin up large, flat jugs, slightly right of the bolt line, to reach a big sloping ledge. Follow diagonaling, incut cracks and flakes over the first roof, rocking up with difficulty to reach a scrunchy rest below the final roof. There is a hidden bolt above the lip out left, which is difficult to locate and clip without a pre-hung draw (or two). Most people will want to follow the rounded, diagonaling crack system that begins above the right end of the alcove and traverses left, culminating in a thrutchy mantel onto the hanging slab.
