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.

Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.

Description
Start on obvious chalked jug on right side of boulder. Climb the arete via compression sloper moves. Get to the jug at about 9 feet and top it out.
Variation 1: Zion Express (V6)- Start as of Pink Squiggles and climb only the arete avoiding the compression slopers out left. FA Todd Findley.
Variation 2: Assquatch (V8) Start with your right hand on the sloper just down and left of the start jug on Pink Squiggles and your left hand on a undercling rail just right of the "Speedbump" slopey feature. Pull off the ground and make a slap with your right hand up to the arete of Pink Squiggles. Finish as of Pink Squiggles. The name came about when I fell into the river when I slipped off the first move. FA Joe Varela.
