Access Issue: 2025 Seasonal Raptor Closures - Triple Tier, Boston Peak, Grazing Allotment Crag
Details
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Feb. 3, 2025) – To protect nesting birds of prey, the Roosevelt National Forest began implementing annual closures in several popular recreation areas within the Canyon Lakes and Boulder Ranger Districts on Feb 1, 2025.
On the Canyon Lakes Ranger District, the closure areas include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details.
The Roosevelt National Forest works closely with partners like Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Boulder Climbing Community and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
This route is in the Poudre Canyon guidebook but not on MP, so I'm adding it here, because I confused it with "Unknown West Crack" on the North Face of Crystal Wall and went up it woefully unprepared. It starts at the obvious hand crack left of Pumpin' Puff Muffins and right of Pet Cemetary. It continues into the off width/chimney crack directly above where you can clip two bolts on the left to avoid falling onto the ledge. Double hand-sized pieces for the crack and at least one #4 or #5 makes it feel well-protected. A 15 foot traverse right at the top to a pair of bolts over terrible rock sets up the TR and rap or lower. Lots of looks rock crumbling off and loads of loose holds make it feel pretty scary, though I was able to find decent gear. The crux is deciding which loose hold to pull on midway up the offwidth section. This might be good if it's climbed a lot more.
