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
This is one of the best, if not the best, routes at the rock. The entire route is fun and has different sorts of climbing all the way up. It has slab sections, cracks, underclings, and more. The crux is at a steep section about halfway up that can be solved more than one way. It seems very safely bolted.
Location
This route is located just to the right of Midwestern Crack which starts nearby. It is the only bolted route on the right side of the main rock and has black bolt hangers.
Lower or rap from the anchor which is just right of a large tree halfway up Midwestern Crack.
