The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates: jeffco.us/open-space/parks/…
Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.
Description
Petit Hughie is a really nice and aesthetic arete climb, and the current hardest at the spires.... The name is a reference to the Amazon Prime show "The Boys".
Start with your right hand on the big, slopey pinch and your left hand on a sidepull while heelhooking on the slopey pinch. Move up on some weird pinches and nice crimps, and gain some easy ground before manteling to the top.
A sit start and the line to the left will be hard, hard.
