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
This line makes for another warm-up on the wall and is an easy way to get some of the draws up on Sex Pistol.
Start with Sex Pistol for the first 5 clips, and do a tricky traverse left on good but somewhat flakey slopers and crimps. After the second fixed draw, get a good rest, then pull up into the corner system. From here, the climbing eases, but the rock turns to flakey pegmatite, so it stays exciting as you stem your way up the corner system, which is thankfully closely bolted.
This shares anchors with "Never Mind the Bollocks," so if you were unfortunate enough to try that, it makes for an easy way to get your draws back.
Location
It shares a start with Sex Pistol but breaks left up the corner after the second fixed draw.
