	Mike McHugh · Jan 31, 2014 · Unknown Hometown · Joined Jan 2013 · Points: 420 Eldorado Canyon State Park has changed its policies about climbing closures due to raptor nesting. In past years, we've done pre-emptive closures - climbs near old nests are closed until there's no chance of raptors re-using the nest for the season. This year, the park has gone to an adaptive approach. Climbs will remain open until there is evidence of raptor nesting. Long story short: The Naked Edge, Diving Board, and the like will remain open until such time as raptors try to nest in the area. If this works for ya, make sure and thank the park rangers (Ben, Steve, Jess) for pushing through a sensible policy. See you out there. 0 Flag Quote
