Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures/CDOT Road Work
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.

Description
This is an excellent climb that has old-school bolt spacing (~10-12 feet between bolts). All of the difficult climbing happens after clipping a bolt, so it's relatively safe. There are a few loose looking handholds between the first and second bolts, so beware. Stick clipping the second bolt may be a good idea.
Climb the overhanging face for four bolts to reach a rest ledge. Power up good holds for two more bolts and then solve the final roof moves to gain the anchors.
The rock on this route looks like it's brittle and crumbly, but it's actually pretty solid; however, the rest ledge has some loose rocks on it that end up on some of the holds directly below it.
