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
Trilogy adds a third techy face route to the left side of Crystal Wall. It is of a similar style but less difficult and sustained than Orange Crimpsicle or BlackWave to the left.
The route can be divided into thirds, the first third involving easy climbing to a no hands rest. The middle third is the meat of the route climbing crimps and sidepulls with smeary feet on a small rounded arete feature. The final third climbs hero jugs then liebacks a groove to the anchors.
Not sure of the grade. Seems like it would be a hard onsight but once I worked out the beta it doesn’t seem too bad.
Location
It is on the left side of the face between Orange Crimpsicle and Bananarete just left of Mood for a Day's left-facing dihedral (see the photo).
