Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:
Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
Start on first 3 bolts of "Over the Hillary". Cross left into the hand crack traverse, up the mini-dihedral to a log. Stay on a rock traverse left to a slanting crack in a mini-headwall. This is where I would set a belay next time (you might even be able to reach ground on other side of 'hump'). It would be pretty comfortable staying on rock, and you would have good crack for anchor.
Pitch two from there would go up diagonally. Make 'bouldery' move (crux) into a horizontal squeeze, then voilà, the final 5.6 hand crack mantel to the top of this cool buttress. There is a good anchor building opportunity on top.
Walk off right and follow a ridge west a little, then downclimb south.
I cleared ledges of choss, but just a few more ascents, and it would be worth of 4 stars... to a trad climber.
