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
This adventurous route is found on the Lower Breakers. When the trail hits the main wall, head down the hill to the base of the lower tier of rock. This route follows the left facing dihedral in the center of the formation. P1: (zero stars) This route starts at a mossy left leaning crack system. This crack seemed a little harder than 5.6. This moist move can be over come with a little pulling on gear. Belay below an obvious OW. P2: (1 to 3 stars depending on state of the hand crack) Follow a fun SQ chimney in the LF dihedral for 25 feet. Small pro can be had in a small crack to the right. Stem and lieback up to a beautiful hand crack. This pitch would be one of the best 5.6 crack pitches in Colorado, if it was not for the pine needles and dirt that collects in the hand crack. The leader should being a nut tool, in case you are the first person to climb this route this year. Descent: Follow the ledge system to the right and do a double rope rap to the ground. The natural extention to this route is "Easy Sailing" (5.6), which climbs the Upper Breakers in 2 pitches. (recommended)
