Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures Details

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…

CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 1 (MM 270, W of Tunnel 1). Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 2 (E of Tunnel 2). In 2016, the closure WAS lifted June 9 for ONLY the 2016 season, per Eric Krause, JeffCo OS Ranger. Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

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

Access Issue: Private Property - be aware & respectful Details

Per Daniel Dunn, Stewardship Manager, Boulder Climbing Community ((803) 443-8822): this crag is on private property. The landowners are aware of the climbing on their property and continue to allow access for rock climbers. It is critical for long term access that everyone who climbs here is respectful and does their part to keep the crag in good shape. For more information on how to be a good steward, check out the Climber's Pact from Access Fund.

Description

Climb 5.9 for two bolts up the corner to a ledge, right of the bolt line. Step left, and climb delicate and technical moves on crimps and slopers for two more bolts (crux) leading to a stem rest in the corner to the left under the prominent roof. Rest here, then blast to the chains on slightly easier terrain.

Take care on the first two bolts as a fall will cause a pretty big swing leftward into the opposing corner.

The rock is good quality. It would be 4 stars if it were longer.

Location

This route is in a corner on clean rock about 100m to the right (west) of the main part of the cliff hosting Designer Genes and Soma in a easy-to-recognize dihedral. When approaching Conspiracy, you will see this corner to the right of the trail; there is a faint fork about 100m before you reach the main wall, allowing you to head straight for Alien Autopsy from that point.
