Seasonal Raptor Closure In Effect MORE INFO >>> The seasonal raptor closure is in effect February 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013 at Blob Rock and Bitty Buttress. Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This is the thin crack in the center of the left face. It looks trivial, but it took me quite a while to get off the ground. Turned out to be easy, but hard to see. If you're shorter it may not be easy and will likely require some dicey foot moves. Since this face narrows at the top, as you finish this route you'll likely be using holds on all 3 climbs on this face.

Protection 

A few small cams and nuts. A big brass or similar nut for the start.
