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:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!

Description
This route also lies on left-hand end of the upper right hand side of Physical Crag. To locate it first find the impressive OW, Bacon and Ergs. Walk to the left 20 or 25 meters and around to a large left-facing dihedral. An old dead tree leans against the wall to the right of this corner. Climb the face on the right and sew up the crack with small nuts if possible -the rock here is not as dense as typical eldo stone and a long fall might break the edge of the crack and set your gear loose. Climb up and as the dihedral hits a narrow point, place a large cam (#3 Camalot was good) to protect the last hard move. Continue to the top & belay West of the top of the line from a few good tricams or stoppers in a crack at the back of a big boulder.
TO descend, walk across the crag to the anchors above Crown Joules and rap off. These are below the summit and although easy to get to, might be a little difficult to find.
A good brushing of lichen would probably add to the quality of the route.
