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
This is a fairly solid climb, but one that lacks the large holds and easy gear placements that others at this crag have. The climb is more of a face climb than some of the others. It is still relatively easy and a good solo, however.
Start out just down and right of the sole evergreen at the base of the South Face, climbing just to the right of a blocky overhang. Pull up onto a solid slab of rock, staying left of the small, right-facing, flake system that is the climb 'Sneezy' and climb up and very slightly left. Reach the summit after passing a slight bulge a move below the top via a flake/shallow corner on its right side.
