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
The easiest route to the pleasant summit of Fin One. When combined with Ghetto Cruiser, a two star combo.
Start from a ledge/ramp above the Ghetto Cruiser dihedral on the SW face of Fin One. Both Ghetto Cruiser and Easy Street can be combined and is recommended, but rope drag may be an issue over the roof above the Ghetto Cruiser dihedral. A belay in the wide slot is not recommended. Work your way toward the SW arete via a wide ramp. A small stopper will protect the traverse. Once on the arete, the glory begins as huge heucos lead the way along the blunt arete. It is easy and it is fun. Rap from the two bolt ancher on the flat, sunporch of a summit. It is a two rope rap to the base of the SW face.
