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
Start with a couple of close bolts, moving right into a little chimney. Clip a 3rd bolt in the chimney with an extended draw, and back clean the first 2, otherwise the rope drag will be heinous. Use the awesome horn to move out right onto the face. There's an oddly placed bolt on the face that is too low to be useful - skip it, and clip the 2nd bolt on the face, then continue straight up past some more bolts.
I thought this climb had a bit of an adventurous feel to it and was worth a climb if you're here. You can use this route to get to the upper pitch of Scenic Ride.
