Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31

Tunnel 1 closure
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
Description
This is yet another not-my-route with interesting climbing from the bottom to the anchors that made it worthwhile for me.
(BTW, if you've never posted a route, they ask you in this section to say where the crux is; what's interesting; what are our deepest thoughts...). I would never give it away like that or tell you what to do. It's safe enough, go see what you think!
Location
It is on Upper Oz.
This is the third route from the left and climbs just inside the obvious column on the right leg of the acute alcove corner. The first several bolts you see on the outside are actually a harder variation, so look left just inside to see bolts leading up the the roof where you pop out and join up with those obvious bolts.
