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:

Check Park site for current closures:

Description
Jeff Lowe and I also did a pitch that starts right of King's X.Jeff climbed up to where the current route "The Lion" starts. He worked on the first part of "The Lion," and after climbing up and down several times, he decided that it was a bit too runout. He then proceeded to traverse over to "King's X" and finished up that climb. I followed him up without any taints. He was guiding me at the time. He had also recently acquired some "Friends " and wanted to try them out on the hanging flakes that are featured on "Black Wind". Other guidebooks did not mention this history. He may have gone back with Henry Barber to repeat the route and work on "The Lion;" again.
