Seasonal Raptor Closure In Effect MORE INFO >>> The seasonal raptor closure is in effect February 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013 at Blob Rock and Bitty Buttress. Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

Locate the obvious orange streak in the roof system 10-15 feet right of the first pitch of Where Eagles Dare. Climb up to the streak via the path of least resistance. Deposit pro at the base of the roof. Traverse right then up and left into the corner (5.8 R). Move up to the break at the lip and place gear (#7 Rock works great).... A new 5.8 route continues straight up from here...bust out right to the obvious rail, up to the lip. Just below the lip is a seam running down where a #1 Rock fits perfectly with concave side facing right (can be placed from out left (blind)). Turn the roof and go to the anchor for W.E.D.

Protection 

Small/medium nuts, 0.75"-1.75" cams, 2-bolt anchor.
