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
Climb straight up past three bolts, then angle up and right to the obvious dihedral with the crux at the sixth bolt.
The route is named for the Nazi concentration camp in which my dad was interned during the final months of WWII. He was 6'2" and weighed 88 lbs when liberated. He is recognized as a survivor of the Holocaust by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. You can read his memoir here: marshallfoundation.org/100t….
Location
Berga starts about 15 feet left of Beasto. The first bolt was added after the FA to make the route more user friendly. It's a stretch to clip, but that was the only good location.
Rappel or lower from Mussy hooks.
