For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…

CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 1 (MM 270, W of Tunnel 1). Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 2 (E of Tunnel 2). In 2016, the closure WAS lifted June 9 for ONLY the 2016 season, per Eric Krause, JeffCo OS Ranger. Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

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 is an eliminate low traverse. Start with your left hand in the good seam and your right hand on the slopey dish at the lip. Traverse all the way right- instead of pressing up as for 'Presto', stay low on the lip, and roll through to the start of 'Cosmo'. Finish right around the corner on increasingly better holds. Dabby.

Location

It is on the left end of the overhang at the corner. Same start as Magic and Presto.

Protection

Pads.

Beta: youtube.com/shorts/tRYTscju…. It is the same start as Presto, so do whatever you feel good on, and other note is try using the hold your right hand was on before bumping to the sloper for your left hand. May 4, 2026
