Advice for out-of-towner climbing around Boulder next weekend.

Am I the only one that thinks that the Rio has the most disguting margaritas in town? They taste as sugary as jello (strawberry at least) and they add grain alchohol. |

And if you climb in the flatirons take a ton of water, because if it is both sunny and hot, you will need it. The East-facing slabs get first light and heat up early... by afternoon, you are fried eggs... Also, get an early start for whatever- the approaches can be miserably hot after 7-8am, but wonderful at 6am-7:30. Flatirons sunrises are AWESOME. Get there just before sunup and take a good camera. |

Martin, OSMP would appreciate your concern and conservative approach. The Matron, however, is currently open for climbing. For more info and a complete list of closures in the Flatirons, see the City of Boulder's Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) closure page: |

But what about this map? It shows The Matron right in the middle of a closure area: bouldercolorado.gov/files/o… And here's an OSMP press release from Jan 2011. It lists the Matron as being closed until July 31. bouldercolorado.gov/index.p… Anyone care to hike up there and report whether they see any closure signs? |

Martin, the first link you cited, showing the overview map, is just that, an overview of areas subject to closure but not necessarily closed, though they don't say, 'subject to closure'. Admittedly, OSMP could be more clear on this. |
