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
Break the Ice starts in he same low sloping jug as for Light Waters. From here, follow the lip of the cave using sidepulls, undercling, and some bomber heel hooks. After some difficult bump-in moves, make a big move to the obvious, chalked sloper in the grey rock. Swing your feet over to set a great kneebar, and make one more hard move to a huge jug in the little dihedral. Now continue left on the high jugs until reaching a massive dinner plate jug. Either drop or continue left for a high and chossy topout. As far as I know, the ramp to the right of the start is off unless you want the grade to be far easier. All in all, this climb is a good testpiece for those who find Dark Waters too difficult, and this has amazing unique movement in its own right.
