Access Issue: 2024 Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
From the Canyon Lakes Ranger District Forest Service:
Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
The Southeast Face is home to some of the most popular multi-pitch outings on Greyrock. Generally, routes on the left (more southern) aspect of this face are broken between ledges and nice slabs and faces, while routes on the more northern aspect are more sustained in nature. The rock on the Southeast Face is excellent, and peppered with the occasional tree or bush, offering some options for retreat by rappel if necessary. For Fort Collins trad climbers, quality routes like Greatest Route and Barfy's Favorite make Greyrock's Southeast Face a wall not to be missed.
Getting There
To reach the Southeast Face of Greyrock, follow the Summit trail until reaching a burnt-out area with a large group of aspen trees. Break uphill to the base of the face. Locating the Greatest Route is good starting point, as most of the routes on this website are described with reference to it; Simon and Theodore are located to the south at a nice grassy area, while Barfy's Favorite and others are located to the north.
