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.

Description
Time to paddle back out to the line up because there is another wave coming, a Jade Wave!
This is the full envisioned line and a really fun addition to this panel of the wall. It fits in nicely between Trilogy and Black Wave in difficulty. A bit more involved than Trilogy but less sustained than BlackWave, this route is a slightly easier variation for accessing the tidal wave headwall.
Climb Jade to its anchor using the recommended draw beta to minimize rope drag on the BlackWave finish. From the anchor of Jade, clip one of the bolts with a long draw and continue carefully up the groove, doing your best to avoid two loose blocks up and left of the crack. A short sequence of 5.10 moves on the face above the Jade anchor will allow you to easily skirt the loose blocks. Look for the large, flat crimps that will take you out right.
Joining with the final 3 shared bolts of BlackWave, clip the first bolt in the headwall with a shoulder length sling, and surf your way up the final tidal wave headwall to a two bolt anchor with loweroff carabiners. A 60 meter rope is mandatory.
