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.

Description
This is a vertical face route with small incuts and edges. The lack of pro makes it practically a solo - have you a rope or not. A poor landing would be assured in a fall. The climbing is good and the rock is solid though, so this is a reasonable route for those in the right headspace.
Start on positive incuts, and wander your way up the wall, deviating a move to the side here and there to get the most secure holds. The crux midway up this line is unprotected with a bad fall potential, but the climbing and rock are both solid. Top out and descend to the East and then down a ridge and gully back to the North.

Location
From the top of Right Wall step over the top and slightly south to access the West Face of Supremacy Rock, above the big West Shoulder. The route climbs up the West Face here, wandering slightly to access the best holds on the way up, maintaining a meter or two of space leftward or rightward to either arete.
