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.

Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures 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. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to 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 has memorable climbing high in the grade, airy position, and immaculate stone. With two well protected cruxes and some sporty work in between, Kung Fu Kenny is reminiscent of Eldorado’s geometric dihedrals and a must do for the style.
Enter the dihedral, and after clipping a bolt, make a stiff move left onto the fin. Continue up through the steepening corner and into a technical bulge. Stop at a two bolt anchor, or make your ancestors proud and continue up through the all smiles 5.7 headwall crack, then walk off to the East.
The upper pitch has a large nest near the top which is easily passed to the side; however, this upper pitch is probably best saved for the fall and winter seasons to avoid nesting disturbances.
Protection
Singles (Tips to BD #3) for the first pitch. The first crux is bolt protected, and the second by a pin which can be backed up with a perfect medium stopper placement.
The second pitch is mild but persistently wide (BD #4), with the occasional hand-sized piece. It could warrant doubles of BD #4 depending on your comfort bumping the big cam.
