Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures/CDOT Road Work
Details
Please be aware of the annual raptor seasonal closures!
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31
Visit: jeffco.us/open-space/news/2…
Tunnel 1 closure
For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…
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
June 7, 2021 - TBD: Highway 6 is currently doing full road closures from Sunday night to Friday morning every week. The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.

Description
This fierce number begins with a brutal V11-ish boulder problem passing the first bolt. Above, the climbing eases to elegant, 5.12, technical face climbing capped by a steep, gymnastic finish. The rock is brilliant (even the pegmatite intrusions are solid and clean), and the movement is stellar. Unfortunately a few uncomfortably sharp grips in the intro and inconsistent difficulty detract from an otherwise classic experience.
Begin below a marble-like patch of pegmatite in the center of the east face. Burly, and at times painful, dynamic edging leads to a good clipping stance at a 1-pad flat edge just below the second bolt. Weave up to the slashing seam, and then follow this feature left and mantel onto the sloping Lonely Island Ledge. Edge and pinch over the steep headwall to reach big jugs and the summit.
