Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures Details

From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:

Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.

The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.

Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description

This is sunny all year and all day. It has typical Poudre rock with some routes that have a little more air under them. Sick of the Chamber crowds and want to sink your hands into some cracks or have your own private crag?

Getting There

There are a few different ways:

One is to climb Battle Axe, For the Kids, and/or Blood Legacy and then traverse the grassy and loose gully. You then can lead up to base of Peeps/DC Corner.

Another variation is to climb the gully upstream from For the Kids. It is mostly easy/loose ground with some 5.5 chimney climbing to the same easy, 5.6, approach crack.

A third approach would be to walk/scramble around back to the "Outback Wall" and then rappel in from anchors at the top of gully or climb into the DC Corner from the back side.

It sounds more confusing than it is. Bring a few cams in the event you want to protect some of the approach climbing.
