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
This route is a semi-fun toprope that is fun to do after doing other routes in the area. The crux is getting over the first overhang, on the left side, near the bottom. There is no pro here, so the route is best to top rope. The second overhang goes on its right side using the arête as a layback hold. A small cam can be placed here if you are crazy enough to try a lead. Both overhangs involve a high step to surmount. The rest of the route is fairly easy and will take protection. However, I would toprope the route.
Location
This route is between Pine Tree Eliminate and Flaked Out. It goes up the face through two small overhangs. Use the bolt anchor on Seams Thin to descend.
