Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31

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
Begin up a chossy gully with some bushes to the first bolt. The crux comes quickly as you climb through the second bolt at a bulge. Once you've reached the ledge, climb up a dirty dihedral to the anchor. This route needs some traffic or a good brushing to improve.
Location
Per Daniel Kat: from the nice staging area on the left side of the cliff with all the 5.10s (basically where the approach train meets the cliff), this is the leftmost line of them. It's maybe ten feet right of the big steep roof that only has one route on it (Tomb Raider).
