Access Issue: Rockfall Access Effect & Subject to Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
Per Dustin Bergman, Eldorado Canyon State Park Officer: the upper third of the West Redgarden trail and Rewritten descent trail suffered significant damage during that storm that came through a few weeks ago. Please consider choosing alternates routes lower on the trail.
Beginning Feb. 1st each year, a seasonal wildlife closure will be in effect on Redgarden Wall in Eldorado Canyon State Park to protect nesting and roosting sites of the canyon's falcons. The closure is in effect through July 31st unless lifted early due to early fledging or inactivity.
The closure includes the following climbing routes: The Naked Edge (last 3 pitches only), The Diving Board, Centaur, Redguard (last 3 pitches only), Red Ant, Semi-Wild, Anthill Direct (last 3 pitches only), and The Sidetrack.
For more info, visit cpw.state.co.us/state-parks…

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.

Description
I am adding this to the database as the majority of people only do the first pitch of this fantastic route (myself included). If folks want it removed, no offense taken.
The first pitch of Genesis starts out in a left-facing corner with just OK quality rock. Jam and stem up moderate rock up to and below an A-shaped roof. The first crux is pulling this roof to the base of the slab out left, which is protected by good cams leading up to it, then three pins. I've heard people call this 10c - that seems a bit sandbagged to me.
The slab is amazing. Make committing moves up to the first bolt - a fall here would be pretty exciting as you would fall past the pins and below the A-shaped roof! Keep inching up the slab past three more bolts, and clip the chains. Note, you can also reach left to clip a fourth bolt on Exodus, I believe, before going up the big flake to the anchor. Or be like Brad Gobright, and forfeit the bolts all together.
This pitch alone gets four stars for the continuous nature of the route and the variety of styles required. Solid at the grade.
Location
From the concrete pad by the creek, head up towards C'est La Vie. Stay left, and hike to the top of a ledge to the base of the left-facing corner. Watch out for poison ivy - it's best to head up the left side of the ledge.
