Access Issue: Closures
Details
Seasonal closures Feb. 15-July 31. Per the Denver Post:, the Cathedral Wall and all areas above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond Trail are closed to off-trail travel! Per this RMNP website, "Initial closures now occur in Feb. 15 and April, when raptors return to the region and scout for nesting sites. Areas containing general habitat preferred by raptors are closed during this time. Once raptors have selected nesting spots, the initial closures are lifted or adjusted. The specific areas which raptors choose for nesting sites are closed."
For additional information about raptor closures, please visit the Rocky Mountain National Parks area closures website.
General NPS climbing regulations for RMNP posted here.

Introduction
Meeker is where I go to pretend I'm in Chamonix. The Dragons Egg Couloir is easily seen from Denver, just right of Longs. If it looks phat, then go!
Ascending Dreamweaver's ice and then skiing Dragon's Egg Couloir is the way to go. Most ski haulers doing Dreamweaver just ski the Loft, steeper, but only a third the size. Another advantage to Dreamweaver & Dragon's Egg is that both gullies crest at the same place on the summit ridge. Avoiding the ski carry over the summit boulder to reach the Loft is another bonus.
