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 aptly named route is probably the best warm-up on the wall. While it's still cleaning up a bit, after some more ascents, it should clean up nicely.
Starting up some low angle choss, watch for loose blocks, and continue up to the right-facing corner through closely spaced bolts and steep jug bashing. Above, a no hands rest helps you recover. The next draw feels a bit out of place and is difficult to hang, but it will protect the crux nicely. After getting the draw hung and clipped, climb a few feet right of the bolt, then make a big move left to a hold that isn't quite as good as you'd like, since this is the warm-up. Execute a puzzling sequence, and climb easier moves on steep ground to hero jugs and the anchors at the top of the cliff.
