Please be aware of the annual raptor seasonal closures!
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31
Visit: jeffco.us/open-space/news/2…
Tunnel 1 closure
For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…
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
Low Priest was bolted (and the anchor added) really just as entry pitch to Matt’s new 5.12 roof crack, High Priest. With that being said, it is an independent line with an anchor, so I thought I’d post it here for easy identification.
*Please tread with care/test your holds until this line has cleaned up a bit!*
Traverse into the first bolt from the left via a sloping rail until perhaps the bottom cleans up. Clip 7 bolts total on the way to the chains. Belly to the bolt line provides interesting climbing, though it’s possible to weave around a bit if those moves aren’t to your liking. The climbing is fun, though a cautious leader may find a bit of runout between some of the higher bolts.
Thanks, Matt, for giving us a new easier pitch at the Graveyard and for letting me be the first to give this a go!
