Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:
Seasonal Raptor Closures

Description
I am not sure if I am the first to do this route, as it seems like an obvious link-up, but there is no information in the latest book, Mountain Project, and all the old Eldo trad dads I've asked around; so I am posting it here!
This sweet link-up takes the easy, scary climbing for both The Evictor and Fraid Line and combines them, essentially the inverse of Freeline!
Start as for The Evictor, then when your feet are at the overlap and you are in the first fingerlock where the hard climbing starts, traverse to the left (opposite of the Freeline traverse). When you arrive at the Fraid Line rest jug, place as much gear as rope drag will allow, and punch it to the top - finishing on Fraid Line anchors.
