Access Issue: 2024 Partial Seasonal Raptor Closures lifted 7/21/24
Details
Upper & Lower Twin Owls, Rock One, The Book and access trail, Bookmark, and Left Book were opened based on a park new release.
Closures have been extended for Thunder Buttress, access trail, The Parish, Cathedral Wall.
Closures above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond trail have been extended.
Per Brent Frazier: the raptor closures have been lifted in the Lumpy Ridge and Loch Vale Areas ( nps.gov/romo/raptor-closure…)
Each year, Rocky Mountain National Park initiates temporary closures in certain areas of the park to ensure that birds of prey will be undisturbed during their breeding and nesting seasons. These closures begin on February 15 and continue through July 31, if appropriate. Monitoring by park staff and volunteers have determined that all remaining closures can be lifted on July 28, 2023.
Per Matt Coghill: the Golden eagle nesting activity has extended Lumpy closures through Aug. 15, 2022 on Sundance, Thunder Buttress, and Needle Summit!
Per A.Eaton: the raptor closures have been lifted as of 6/4/2022 at Lumpy for the following formations:
Twin Owls
Rock One
Batman Rock
Batman Pinnacle
Checkerboard
Lightning Rock
Per the Denver Post: as of Feb. 15, 2022, Checkerboard Rock, Lightning Rock, Batman Rock, Batman Pinnacle, Sundance, Thunder Buttress, The Parish, Bookmark Pinnacle, The Left Book, Bookmark, Twin Owls, Rock One, and the Needle are closed for raptor nesting. These closures will continue through July 31, 2022 if needed.
All areas [were] OPEN to climbing for the 2021 post July season.
Closures ending July 31:
Batman Rock, Batman Pinnacle, Lightning Rock, Checkerboard Rock - nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/…
Sundance - nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/…
The Book Area: Left Book, The Bookmark, Bookmark Pinnacle, and the entire Book formation (including Renaissance Wall, Isis Buttress, Pages Wall Area, and J-Crack Slab Area)- nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/…

When closed, the closures include the named rock formations and the areas surrounding the base of the formation. This includes all climbing routes, outcroppings, cliffs, faces, ascent and descent routes, and climber's access trails to the formation.
Areas not listed are presumed to be open. These closures will be lifted or extended as conditions dictate.
Description
This has super cool movement. Worth spending some time on, this one feels good to send.
I'm not sure of the history of it, but there are potential variations on this line. I started with both hands as high as I could reach (gouging right finger lock, left hand poor/open grip), establish your feet, and fire straight up to a poor edge. Then do the crux throw, and finish left on the overlap feature, same as the V4 on this wall.
This faces south - you don't want to climb this when it's hot.
Location
This is not strictly on the Bolt Boulder, but I can't stand it when we build a subsection for every single bloc that is a two minute walk from the others. Everything from Podophile, Pop A Loose Nut, the warm up boulder on the trail, and Sap are all in the Bolt Boulder area.
Start by finding the Bolt Boulder, which is a couple minutes up the hill from the T intersection that you reach if you take the main LEFT trail at Lumpy. At the T (left goes to Black Canyon, right goes Gem Lake), take a right, you'll see Bolt Boulder on your left after a steep incline. Hike past this, and take the climber's trail left above that. Then look for Sap, V9/10 on the left (chalked, obvious pretty roof), and continue on the trail for another ten seconds, looking left. Use the photo to ID - you can see it uphill from the east-west climber's trail.
