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 is the namesake route that you probably hiked up here for. Once standing underneath the wall, it just begs to be climbed. It has excellent movement on unique rock. Easily one of the best routes of the grade in the Poudre, this one gets all the stars in my book, which may not be saying much. Come try it, and you decide!
There are essentially four distinct sections with two good rests. Start with an interesting boulder problem traversing along the mini-arete, and immediately fire into compression climbing on the wing feature, culminating in an airy traverse to the rest underneath the roof. Pull the roof into the finger crack on sweet locks leading to another rest before performing the final thin and balancy redpoint crux. Enjoy easier climbing and swirly rock to the anchor.
