Access Issue: 2024 Partial Seasonal Raptor Closures lifted 7/21/24
Details
Upper & Lower Twin Owls, Rock One, The Book and access trail, Bookmark, and Left Book were opened based on a park new release.
Closures have been extended for Thunder Buttress, access trail, The Parish, Cathedral Wall.

Per Brent Frazier: the raptor closures have been lifted in the Lumpy Ridge and Loch Vale Areas ( nps.gov/romo/raptor-closure…)
Each year, Rocky Mountain National Park initiates temporary closures in certain areas of the park to ensure that birds of prey will be undisturbed during their breeding and nesting seasons. These closures begin on February 15 and continue through July 31, if appropriate. Monitoring by park staff and volunteers have determined that all remaining closures can be lifted on July 28, 2023.
Per Matt Coghill: the Golden eagle nesting activity has extended Lumpy closures through Aug. 15, 2022 on Sundance, Thunder Buttress, and Needle Summit!
Per A.Eaton: the raptor closures have been lifted as of 6/4/2022 at Lumpy for the following formations:
Twin Owls
Rock One
Batman Rock
Batman Pinnacle
Checkerboard
Lightning Rock
Per the Denver Post: as of Feb. 15, 2022, Checkerboard Rock, Lightning Rock, Batman Rock, Batman Pinnacle, Sundance, Thunder Buttress, The Parish, Bookmark Pinnacle, The Left Book, Bookmark, Twin Owls, Rock One, and the Needle are closed for raptor nesting. These closures will continue through July 31, 2022 if needed.

Closures ending July 31:

Areas not listed are presumed to be open. These closures will be lifted or extended as conditions dictate.
Description
This route is a logical compilation of three existing routes with an additional 35 feet of new quality slab climbing to complete the line. Start on the Checkerboard Crack (5.8+), and climb up the delicate corner until casting off onto the beginning of Ziggie’s Brother Hank. Continue up Ziggie’s Brother Hank (5.10- R) until the second bolt, crossing Ziggie’s Day Out along the way. From here, climb up and right to the obvious, smile-shaped overlap following three new bolts up the clean slab (5.10+), which will land you at the final moves of Ziggie’s Day Out. This pitch ends at a comfortable stance with a new two bolt anchor on the Surry Ledge. Either rap to the ground (75’) or continue to the top via one of the established routes.
This was established by toprope sessions, the bolts were placed by hand, then it was redpointed.
Location
It is located on the fantastic Southwest face of Checkerboard Rock. This engaging addition to Checkerboard Rock starts on Checkerboard Crack and finishes on Ziggy’s Day Out, utilizing the first half of Ziggy’s Brother Hank and some new steep slab terrain up to the rap anchor on Surry Ledge.
