Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31

Tunnel 1 closure

The two areas Jefferson County Open Space intends to close in Clear Creek Canyon, shown on the attached maps, encompass the active eagle nests. If the Clear Creek eagles continue to nest in the active nests, these areas will remain closed from February 1 through July 31. If the eagles choose different nesting sites, the closures will be adjusted accordingly to protect those eagles during their breeding season.
Currently, rock climbing areas that fall inside of the seasonal raptor closures include:
Blonde Formation
Bumbling Stock
Evil Area
Ghost Crag
Highlander
Skinny Legs
Stumbling Block
Tetanus Garden
Fault Caves
Per Allentg: please be extra careful to avoid conflicts with the local residents due to the twisty road, lack of parking, and the boulder being so close to the road. Consider climbing elsewhere! There was enough concern to request deleting this subarea.
Description
Start with your right hand on a decent bump around the arete and your left hand on a bad crimp. Bump into an okay left hand sidepull followed by a good right hand hold. Then go up, and finish with an easy topout.
Location
The problem is around here (GPS coordinates): 39.704425, -105.438832.
The parking is at GPS coordinates: 39.707994, -105.437033.
From the lot, walk up Pat Creek Rd., keep left, and you'll find the entrance gate to the area. From the gate, it's about 2 minutes up the trail, and you can see the climb up the hill on the left through the trees.
