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
This absolutely stunning, yet terrifying arete sits just to the left of ‘Ghost.’ It’s one of the most fun and scary highballs I’ve done. It is interesting in the sense that you can work every move due to the slot behind, but a fall anywhere after the 1/3rd mark would be disastrous.
Wraith begins from a sit down start low on the arete. Pull on slopey crimps, and make technical moves through cool grips as the fear slowly builds. A set of jugs lead to a serious mental crux, then easier, although exposed climbing finishes the striking prow.
