Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures/CDOT Road Work
Details
Please be aware of the annual raptor seasonal closures!
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31
Visit: jeffco.us/open-space/news/2…
Tunnel 1 closure
For more details visit: jeffco.us/open-space/alerts…
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
June 7, 2021 - TBD: Highway 6 is currently doing full road closures from Sunday night to Friday morning every week. The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.
Sundays: 7PM-4AM

Description
This problem tackles the obvious roof, a fair amount of which was dug out to allow the problem to go. Crouch start at right hand flake and left hand sidepull pinch. Move up to an obvious undercling flake and match. Then move right to a visibly enhanced sidepull before a massive dyno back left to a good edge and better holds above.
This boulder has a somewhat controversial history as it was dug out, glued, and chipped by parties who shall remain nameless. That said, it is one of the better hard problems on the Front Range featuring very powerful and interesting moves on good rock. The landing should be watched carefully owing to the backslapping potential on some of the moves.
It has a short approach, easy access, and is good in winter.
