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 is another unknown boulder at Nomad Cave, and though the rock quality isn’t great, the climbing makes up for it.
Begin as for Catillac; sitting with a good, right hand sidepull and opposing, left hand popcorn hold. Make the same first few moves as that climb, but instead of turning left at the geometric roof, continue straight over the lip, via a jug undercling and a poor left hand sidepull. Finish by executing an awkward stand up move into an upside down jug about 10 feet off the ground.
I have heard this climb labeled as V7-10. The stand start (if it has one), is probably V7 and would begin from the jug undercling block at the lip of the steep roof. I did the sit and felt as though it was a step down from the other V10 in the cave, so I gave it low end V9. If anyone has more info on this obscure yet enjoyable problem, please let me know.
Location
On the furthest left boulder if facing the cave, the Unknown like begins on Catillac. After the first few moves, break off that climb, and bust straight over the blocky roof to finish on a well-chalked, upside down hold in the vertical section over the roof.
