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

Description
This is the fourth route to the right of the cave area/arete (Bonehead), which is located on the left (East) side of Little Eiger. The route begins at the original start to Headline, below the crack with a bolt to protect the face moves. Immediately above the first bolt is a new rust colored bolt that sends you up and right onto the Trouthead line.
We were all given the opportunity to name this route, so we did (see topo drawing). Clip the Headline first bolt, move up to the crack and clip the second bolt for Trouthead. Move up and right, away from the crack. Surmount a thin, crimpy bulge with a tricky clip at the fourth bolt. At the sixth bolt, prepare for the crux. Bulgy, sequential moves get you to easier terrain and the anchors. This new route is a previously unbolted line that is a nice addition to the wall. The new anchors on top of this section of the wall are very well done. You definitely need the topo to figure out what happened here, without it you will be lost.
