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.
Sundays: 7PM-4AM
Monday-Thursday: 4PM-4AM

Description
The slightly-overhanging and impressively sheer west face of The Talon is comprised of excellent glacier-cleave rock. Peacock offers engaging moves while they last, but the holds veer right (or really, straight up) to intersect the trivial, low-angle south edge of the wall, making for a disappointingly brief line that effectively ends at the third bolt. A directissima — avoiding the right edge — would be excellent and hard, though hopelessly contrived and arbitrary. Still, as it stands, this line is a fun, roped boulder problem on great rock in a spectacular setting.
A few easier moves lead off the ground to a long crank to the obvious, horizontal seam. Match, then bear-hug up opposing sidepull rails that end at a long, crux throw to a crystal horn. Bigger holds appear as you near the slanted lip. Choose your own difficulty as you work up and left towards the anchor at the apex of the west face.
