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 good route, and like others here, it seems harder than the grade given in the book. The hardest part is at the bottom. There are almost no feet here, and the best hand holds are hard to reach unless you are tall. These holds are out left of the block you start off, but at least the first bolt is easy to clip at average height. There is a good rest ledge at the third bolt. Near the top is a smooth face with lots of lichen that seems difficult and a fun arete crack traverses to the anchors. You can skip the last few bolts and climb on the face to the left if you want to make the end easier.
