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
Crushed Ice is on the east/southeast face of the same boulder as Crusher. This boulder appears to be near the property boundary, so tread lightly and be respectful. For your reference, this boulder is about 30 yards west of the Kingpin Boulder (which is on private property) and 20 yards east from the boulder that has Toaster, Tollbooth Willy and the Willy Arete. To further clarify, this cluster of boulders is about 100 yards east of the Tilt/Divergence/Crazy Cody/Cloudwalker Area.
Anyway, the problem ascends the 80 degree east/southeast-facing slab. Walk around the corner clockwise from Crusher and you will see the slab. Right of the seam that peters out, ascend the 16 foot slab on mostly thin crimps.
We cleaned the hell out of this problem, but plenty of lichen may remain particularly up high. In other words, be careful if you choose to smear on anything.
