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
Step left onto flakes, then climb up steep(ish) rock to a ledge below the short, left-facing corner (the left of the two). Climb the techy corner/arete up and around the roof on cool holds to a short headwall above. Climb jugs up and slightly left to an anchor at the top of a short crack.
The rock at the bottom looks chossy but climbs better than it looks. The rock at the top is very good. Another note: this short wall tends to stay mostly shady all day thanks to the tree cover and would be a good spot after the other routes start getting hot.
