Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31

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
Sitting visibly right across the river from the highway, it’s a miracle that this incredible moderate hasn’t been done until now. Crasters’ Keep is a beautiful highball arete located across the way from Moss Man.
Begin sitting on a hollow but solid crimpy flake. Move up into crimps and eventually fingerlock underclings that lead to a few deadpoints through positive slopers. Move up to a decent crimp rail over the bulge, and find some high feet to make a committing move (crux) to a flat jug near the top. Pull over the exposed lip with caution.
This thing has a similar style and movement to nearby Diamondback but is just easier and a little more committing. Crasters’ Keep deserves to be a popular boulder and is a unique one for CCC!
Location
Located directly under the large roof on the left (upriver) side of Creekside known as Brennivin Roof, this funny looking boulder sticks out of the ground and has a beautiful, striking arete on the right. You can conveniently use a bolt on the sport climbs above the boulder for TR rehearsal of the top.
