Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!
Description
Typical of easier climbs on this side of the Tower, the crux is the first couple of moves into the crack system which is visible on the arete. Climb up the dihedral start as for West Overhang, and reach left to the bottom of the crack to protect the beginning. Continue up through the small roof using the finger to hand-size crack. Above the roof, you can climb the face between The Bomb and the West Overhang with sparse protection or move right to join West Overhang. The face up the middle is low angle and well featured with exception of the last 15 feet or so. At that point, you can easily move off line and place pro in the West Overhang crack. The rock looks like it may be loose at the start, but based on my scientific hitting and kicking, it seems solid enough. At the top, traverse left to The Bomb's rap anchors. I believe this is the "Variation" route listed in Levin's guidebook at 5.6 R.
