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

Description
This is a fun climb, and it is to the right of the Large Crack which is described on this site.
The crux is exiting the chimney once you are inside it, or moving to the left once you are out of the chimney. There is a #4 Camalot sized crack above the chimney. This is a good moderate climb for this cliff.

Location
This is in the middle of the wall to the left of Mama Said Knock You Out. It starts in a crack system below a chimney capped by a small roof. You can walk off to the left or go to the Body English anchor to descend.
Protection
Standard rack to a #4 Camalot. There is one fixed pin. There are no anchors on top unless you go to the Body English anchor.
