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
Featherweight is a fantastic route that would be a classic anywhere else. Start this route with some gymnastic moves through the first little roof to a nice jug rest. Pull another pumpy sequence past the 3rd bolt to another good rest. The rest of the route continues with pumpy climbing that is awkward in some places and thought provoking the whole time. Finish the route with a tricky and weird exit on a pegmatite band of rock. Clip the chains, and enjoy your position in the canyon!
Location
It is to the left of the starting bolts of Funyun Warm Up & Ghostryder. Someone was nice enough to leave quickdraws on this route, except for first bolt.
