Access Issue: 2025 Seasonal Raptor Closures - Triple Tier, Boston Peak, Grazing Allotment Crag
Details
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Feb. 3, 2025) – To protect nesting birds of prey, the Roosevelt National Forest began implementing annual closures in several popular recreation areas within the Canyon Lakes and Boulder Ranger Districts on Feb 1, 2025.
On the Canyon Lakes Ranger District, the closure areas include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details.
The Roosevelt National Forest works closely with partners like Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Boulder Climbing Community and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
Water Slip Down is another obvious line that folks have stared at for years. Climb an easy, left-facing dihedral to the slopey ledge. Engage the short, steep black wall through seams on quality stone. Fingerlocks with super techy feet make this crux about V6. Continue on more easy terrain to the top of the wall.
Location
Located about 50 yards downstream from The River Why, there's an obvious pullout right in front of the wall. After crossing the stream, find a rough trail 20-30 yards upstream from The River Why. This takes you up and around to a grassy area above the cliff. There's an anchor here from which you can rappel, or carefully downclimb to chain anchors near the lip. Take the time to place your quickdraws and chalk holds on the way down to the semi-hanging belay.
If you are concerned about getting back out, leave a fixed line, and bring a jug so you can always escape.
TYROL: once someone has done the hike around and rappeled in, you can easily set up a temporary Tyrolean. There's a two bolt anchor on a large boulder directly below the pullout, across from the hanging belay. Folks can ferry across to climb, and it makes it less of a cluster at the belay. You can also escape this way if you have good tactics. PLEASE do not leave fixed lines up, the Forest Service and Boating Community do not approve of them.
