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
The cruxes on this line are bolted, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to climb it on them alone if you're solid at the grade. However, for most folks, it might be best to bring a little gear. Another note: this short wall tends to stay mostly shady all day thanks to the tree cover.
Climb up and left around the low roof, passing 2 bolts, to a short left-facing corner (the right hand one). You can place gear here (either a finger size cam or ~ # 2 Camalot) or run it out a smidge to the 3rd bolt in the roof above. Crank the mellow roof on great holds, and climb past one more bolt (4th) and a perfect #0.75 Camalot placement to an anchor.
