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 the longest route at Upper Oz. It climbs up the left side of the fin and then moves around to the right at the top. The anchors are set back a bit, so you can't really see your partner if you belay up top (am I the only one who does that? Actually, I lowered, and it worked out ok). Big holds, lots of bolts, and good exposure equals fun. There's a few friable edges at this time, but they will clean up with a little more traffic.
