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
Middle Class Cracker is a fun little chosseneering adventure up the middle of the Middle Class Wall. Start on the grey streak right of the "smiley face" and climb up a short corner, move up and left over ledges, bushes, and loose blocks towards the obvious, right-leaning crack system higher up. A couple of fun moves gain the corner, and good climbing finishes the route off - rap anchors to the right. Avoid the higher set of bolts (and the loose, block filled chimney). Despite a lot of lichen, bushes, and bird shit, I really enjoyed this climb. It reminded me of photos I've seen of the classic rock climbs on Mt. Yamnuska in Alberta - for whatever that's worth.... Anyway, given the excellent sport climbing on the Triple Tier, it's worth packing a light rack along with your draws, as this route makes a fine warm up or cool down.
