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. Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This is more of a link up of two older routes but certainly a new experience worth doing. It hardly seems worthy of a new route name, especially a bad one....

Clip the first 7 bolts of the Vasodilator, then throw a huge dyno or pimp left to a dolphin's nose horn on Limits of Power. Climb the better protected and difficult upper half of Limits of Power through the roofs and veer left to the anchors on Aging Time.

A 70 meter rope just gets you back to the ground. This is an outrageous pitch that requires both sport savvy and trad sphincter management.

Protection 

7 draws, thin trad rack, and 70 meter rope to lower off.
