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
Eve's Cave is an odd "cave" just left of East of Eden with a few routes, most not destined to be popular. The cave is formed by a wall on the edge of the road leaning against the main wall.
The less than vertical face that faces the road has two routes:
Temptation 11c, 5 bolts no hangars plus gear. This is just left of the shattered rock.
Original Sin 10c, bolted face to an overhang and crack. This one looks decent.
The overhanging wall of the cave has an overhanging The Adulteress 11 trad route with a knifeblade.
The rounded arete near the road has the interesting looks Over the Edge 11 sport route that climbs crystals. Some hangers are missing.
Interestingly, the next route to the left, Road Kill, has been "closed" due to proximity to the road (hence the climb name). It's not clear whether CDOT requested this or the climbers chose to close it. No hangers.
