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.

Description
This awesome adventure climbs through the crack system splitting the two kissing gorillas. Begin on suspect grey slate in an obvious crack, and follow 'er up to the top! On your way up, the rock will change to a large crystal, crumbly pegmatite which includes a great steep hand crack, vertical finger, and some slightly wider though well-featured stuff at the top. Despite the short crux, you may find yourself quite pumped placing gear and figuring out the tricky bulges. At the top, share a three way kiss with the gorillas, and thank them for safe passage. The alternate name "Menage a trois go-ril-la" has been floated....
The rock has some classic lower canyon character. Rock quality snobs need not apply.
This line originally had an Indian Creek style plaque at the base with the "Streamliner-5.11" written on it. I have not seen it any time I have come here and assume it was lost in the choss gully where you belay.
