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
Move up excellent, featured, water polished rock with very good protection with small gear (and more placements that can be cleaned out). After about 50 feet, the great rock ends and the angle eases. Place a bomber green Camalot and traverse almost straight left to a good tree belay on the left shoulder. Scramble easily down to the descent gully.
This route is on a really nice section of rock. Its only flaw is its short length.

Location
Hike up and left from the low point of the rock to the base of obvious black streaks on the left side of the wall - perhaps 100 feet. There is a grassy, wider crack on the right, but the better line, also up a black streak, is just left of this.
Protection
This is, by far, the best protected pitch on the wall. A rack of small gear only, with emphasis on small stoppers, brass, and cams, up to and including a green Camalot, will suffice with a sling or two for the belay tree.
If I were suggesting an easy but good first trad lead in the Poudre, this route would be it.
