Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:
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.
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 area is located in the gully about 100 yards above Nod. There are seven unknown bolted routes on the left (south-facing) wall.
1) No star 5.5 slab to anchors.
2) One star 5.7 slab to dihedral to slab and anchors.
The next three routes share a start right where a massive boulder blocks the gully.
3) One star 5.9 slab to big roof to dihedral with the crux moving right out of the dihedral to anchors.
4) One star 5.11 slab to roof to anchors.
5) No star slab to roof with lots of loose rock. The main hold at the crux crumbled to half it's size in the two times I tried it. I didn't get it, so I am not sure of the grade.
6) and 7) Two more unknown routes starting above the huge boulder.
1) No star 5.5 slab to anchors.
2) One star 5.7 slab to dihedral to slab and anchors.
