Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
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
As the name clearly implies, this thing is a funtastical romp up a strange spire/tower, granitic, spike-like feature. There is a little granite crust you'll find scrittilin' on the route, but otherwise the features and quality of movement is good. A wild element of the route is the tufa-like features you get to grapple throughout the climb to summit.
Location
It is possible to look up the gully just west of the other Pine Vu routes and spot the spire only couple hundred feet up the gully. Don't walk directly up the gully from the road. Steep choss and micro-cliffs will stymie your quest. Instead, walk around to the left of Pine Vu routes up an old foot trail that disintegrates into a hillside. Walk along the top of the cliff on a decent animal trail. After several minutes, you will have walked past all other Pine Vu routes and beyond a few gullies. You will see the feature sticking its head out of the soil. From the backside, the feature is not tall, and you could access anchor if desired... walk around to base through path of least resistance. This is 10-45 minutes from the car.
