Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31

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:

Description
Kook Slams climbs out the looker's right side of the Nomad Cave on some high quality stone, if only it didn’t use the footholds of other climbs.
Start at the bottom of the arete (under Pizza Dick) on a nice jug as for Wheel Of Fortune. Make a few moves on that climb before branching right and executing 3-4 very hard moves, involving sweet toehooks and an awesome gaston ear thing. The crux move revolves around being able to hold tension and making a desperate, sick, and insane looking rose move to a good, flat edge. Swing the feet around off the toehooks, and bump your left hand to the jug. Either move left to the jug rails and drop, taking away a V13, or do as the first ascentionist did and clip in to a rope and finish up Pizza Dicks’ 5.13 variation, taking away a hard 5.14.
The real question is who will follow Dave’s vision and climb to the top of the wall, only without a rope???

Location
This is on the looker's right side of Nomad Cave (if looking into the cave). It climbs the furthest right boulder in the cave, using holds under the roof and toehooks on the arete under Pizza Dick.
