Access Issue: 2025 Seasonal Raptor Closures - Triple Tier, Boston Peak, Grazing Allotment Crag
Details
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Feb. 3, 2025) – To protect nesting birds of prey, the Roosevelt National Forest began implementing annual closures in several popular recreation areas within the Canyon Lakes and Boulder Ranger Districts on Feb 1, 2025.
On the Canyon Lakes Ranger District, the closure areas 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.
The Roosevelt National Forest works closely with partners like Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Boulder Climbing Community and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and 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.

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
The name of this climb was inspired by the two massive, abandoned eagle nests present on the ledge system and stays true to the Disney themed routes of its neighbors. The legendary and noble Marahute represents freedom and the untamed spirit of nature.
Climb less-than- desirable rock to the right of the first bolt, and then move up left to the second bolt. A 5.11ish high step/mantel move gets you past the second bolt and onto a ledge. Climb past 4 more bolts of easy, low angle climbing to the base of the long, overhanging headwall. Compression moves, underclings, and a kneebar will get you past the first crux and to a decent kneebar rest at the second bolt on the overhang. From the obvious jug right of the bolt, reach up left to a hidden hold over the lip. Work your way up right along the lip using gastons, crimps, heel hooks, and compression moves to the next bolt. A big move to a "thank God" jug will get you to the last bolt. Easy, low 5th Class climbing gains the anchor.
Location
Marahute is located on the far right side of the Amphitheatre ledge system. The line is located on the face right of the large corner system to the right of Monstro. You can approach the ledge from the standard Amphitheatre approach with a rappel or from walking up the steep/loose corridor approach.
