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. The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.

The Skinny!
This route is a new addition on the left side of Creekside. It makes for a good warm up before hopping on Brennivin, or a fun finish to a day at Guppy and Fish and Chips. It's a fun, techy 10d on good rock.
Start just left of the first pitch of the Brennivin. Follow solid black rock right for 2 bolts, step left, crimp over a small bulge, rest, then angle right on solid black rock on some small crimpers (crux) to great jugs to the anchor.
As of now, it's not a bad idea for the belayer to wear a helmet (some small flakes here and there), but it will clean up very nice with traffic.

Location
This is just left of the first pitch of Brennivin. Approach via Shenanigans, or wade across the creek in low water.
