For more details visit:
jeffco.us/open-space/alerts… 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

was currently doing full road closures from Sunday night to Friday morning every week. The closure is from the junction of CO Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.
Sundays: 7PM-4AM
Monday-Thursday: 4PM-4AM
Description
Climb over a couple of bulges to reach the roof and the start of a small, right-facing corner. Make a couple of fun moves getting established and moving out to a jug below the lip. Find the holds over the lip (even if you can't see them!). Pull up, and clip the anchors.
This route is still evolving, with several loose holds.
I enjoyed the movement in the corner and hope it all stays together, but be careful till it cleans up.
Location
The left side of the Graveyard features a short roof. This route climbs the roof via a short, right-facing corner/groove. Begin just a few feet left of
The Reaper.
Watch out for cactus!
Protection
6 bolts to anchors.

I think this deserves 3 stars now that the anchors have chains. Ended up just dynoing to the decent edge next to the anchors. I could see how this is 12b for shorter people. Jul 13, 2019

- Keep an eye on the first bolt on the overhang - it has continued to come loose and spin. Tightened it down as much as I dared. Might consider adding some Locktite if it continues to loosen.*

If someone can teach me to funk those bolts out and has an extra glue-in, I have some AC100 and could replace the bolts in the roof with glue-ins. Happy to lend a hand where I can. Feb 25, 2024
