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 route has two distinct but dissimilar cruxes: the overhang at the first bolt and the face moves at the last bolt. Enjoyable face climbing on large holds is found between the two cruxes.
This route starts at the right side of a left-angling ramp of black rock. Scramble up the ramp, and clip the bolt on the lip of the overhang. Proceed up and slightly right past four bolts then back slightly left past three more bolts.
Continue up New Tricks to make a fun, two-pitch climb.
The route name comes from the fact that the combined ages of the two members of the FA team is 130+ years. They have enjoyed a 40+ year climbing partnership.
Location
This is the second rightmost route on the wall and is about 20 feet right of Stray Cat. Spot the left-angling ramp of black rock with an easily visible bolt on the overhang its top.
