Access Issue: Closure Notice Details

Per Lee Smith: Jefferson County Open Space has blocked off and closed the trail to Fireblack Boulder, so there is no longer (legal) access to Fireblack and the Pyramid.

Description

One of the best features at Fireblack, the Elephants Ear is my favorite warm up. If you are tall enough, just reach up and grab the top of the Ear & pull. Those of us more elevationally challenged must work our way up the sides of the Ear and move the feet up. Finish left of the tree on a crimp and a hidden scoop. SDS adds a couple of moves but no difficulty.
