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
The most difficult part of the climb is near the start and the first three bolts. The rock here has a lot of lichen, and the holds are small. There is a small overhang between the 5th and 6th bolts. The overhang can be climbed directly or you can move to the left near a bush and basically skip the overhang. The climb seems like a mountaineering route as you pass easy sections, almost walkable, separated by steep rock climbing sections. The route gets you up quite high, and the view from the anchor is great.
