Access Issue: 2023 Seasonal Closures - lifted
Details
Update: as of 6/7/23 per Mike McHugh, ECSP: all closures have been lifted within Eldorado Canyon State Park, including Continental Crag.
Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.

Description
"Any Way You Slice It" this is a pretty cool line. At the crux, a 20 foot section with a slight overhang up the edge of a huge free-standing tower/flake, you feel as if you are climbing a handcrack between two giant slices of bread.For this particular route, almost no cleaning of dirt or lichen was necessary, and only a small amount of rock was removed from the crack to facilitate good jamming and protection. The line is border-line 2-stars and would see frequent ascents at a more popular crag. It's reasonable for those pushing the grade to protect as well.
Walk up the cliffline towards the top. Perhaps 100 meters past the massive slab of "Curiosity..." and 50 meters fromt eh top of the real cliff (boulders go further. Yuo will see a big plate of rock starting 7 meters up and running for 7-8 meters. There is a corner on it's left (unclimbed, looks mellow, but has vegitation in it) and a crack up it's steep right hand edge. Climp up to and through this crack (crux), then from the top of this flake, up and right on cracks to the top of the wall.
To descend, scramble up about 30meters to the SW and then scramble down a reasonable descent where the cliff is short, then walk back to your packs.
