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 a fun, steep climb on the left side of the south face of the rock. The bottom seems tricky as you go through an overhang linking good edges for the hands. Some of these edges are long reaches. You get on a nice rest ledge mid-route. The face is steep above and probably the hardest part of the climb. It is tempting to use the arete near the top, but there are good edges to be found on the face to the right.
