Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.
Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:

Description
This is a short route with good climbing in the last 15 feet but so-so climbing just to to get there.
After climbing Left Turret or approaching the top of The Veil some other way, look 5 meters left (North) of the top of Left Turret. A striking and worthwhile-looking hand-crack appears just before you.
Rap in to the base of that from some gear (cams 2-4") and a cordalette to a reach ledge at the base of this hanging buttress, and set up a belay. Pull the rope, and climb up the grainy bulge on an undercling, reaching the solid handjams in solid rock at the lip of a small roof, and master this, continuing to the top on good jams.
Location
From the top of Left Turret, look left to one more buttress of rock another 5 meters to the north.
