Seasonal Raptor Closure In Effect MORE INFO >>> The seasonal raptor closure is in effect February 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013 at Blob Rock and Bitty Buttress. Each year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates. This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund, and Mountain Project. You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description 

True Comedian is located West of Divine Wind and Radlands on the short face with five bolted routes. TC actually starts on the small face right of the face with all of the anchors. Start on some very thin and improbable smears and edges and then step left onto the main face. The hard stuff is on the lower slab, but the main face still holds a difficult crux in surmounting the roof. TC is another challenging addition. Look for technical footwork on good rock, but save the juice for the final moves. Short but cool.
