Tunnel 1 closure

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 also known as Love Your Enemies extension. It is not the best 5.12+ in the canyon, but it could be popular due to the lack of climbs of a similar grade on the wall. Upon reaching the end of Love Your Enemies (skip the chain anchor here), bust a hard left under the large roof, and make a reachy crux sequence to get to the jugs near the ending of Execution. Finish on the ledge as for that route. Essentially this line horizontally parallels Execution about 7 feet higher. Though it is quite inconsistent, and boils down to a difficult iron cross move after climbing a 12a, it’s got good rock and position, and I thought it bordered on 3 stars.
Side note: I talked to Brian Kimball about this rig, and he said he bolted it but never sent. I had to clean some dirt and flaky rock, but due to the convenience of the line and the easily-reachable bolts, I wouldn’t be surprised if this has been done. Please let me know if the route has already been sent, and I’ll change the name and FA.
Location
Basically Solicitor horizontally parallels Execution, about 7 feet above that route’s crux. Begin as for Love Your Enemies, but at the anchor, move left staying under the large roof and finish as for Execution. The line is 2 bolts of extra climbing.
