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.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:

Description
This is the right-most of the collection of corners on the lower-left portion of Physical Crag.
Starting from the ledge above the low angle slab below, climb up and into a shallow right-facing corner via thin cracks and seams. The crux is finding the inobvious holds required to enter the dihedral. Body-scrumming was a plus, but hurt with no shirt on. Once up in the dihedral, continue up on more moderate climbing and finish to belay at the tree above.
To descend, walk off a ledge to the South towards 'The Veil' and then go down a well-traveled but loose gully.
