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 route is interesting, not the best at the rock but worth doing. I listed the rating in the guidebook, but I think it is more difficult, maybe 11b/c. The crux at the big overhang is only a few moves but is not easy. It is not exactly a mantel as described in the guidebook. The feet are poor, and small hands are found above the overhang. Up higher, the climbing is easier, and the rock is not great but not that bad. I cleaned off some loose rock, and if more climbers do this in the future, it will get better. You cruise an easy slab at the top.
