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
Climb up fun jugs for the first two bolts, and stretch to clip the third. Here the fun overhanging and burly crux starts. From the final jug at the base of the roof, negotiate through slots and underclings to a powerful move to a good pinch jug. Compose yourself, and climb another 2 bolts through 11+ / 12- cryptic terrain to a final jug bash to the anchor.
If you like underclings and have chisel tips to fit into the underclings, this may feel easy for the grade, otherwise it might feel pretty challenging.
