Access Issue: 2024 Partial Seasonal Raptor Closures lifted 7/21/24
Details
From the Denver Post 7/21/24: some of the raptor closures have been lifted, officials announced.
Upper & Lower Twin Owls, Rock One, The Book and access trail, Bookmark, and Left Book were opened based on a park new release.
Closures have been extended for Thunder Buttress, access trail, The Parish, Cathedral Wall.
Closures above the Loch Vale-Sky Pond trail have been extended.
Per Brent Frazier: the raptor closures have been lifted in the Lumpy Ridge and Loch Vale Areas ( nps.gov/romo/raptor-closure…)
Each year, Rocky Mountain National Park initiates temporary closures in certain areas of the park to ensure that birds of prey will be undisturbed during their breeding and nesting seasons. These closures begin on February 15 and continue through July 31, if appropriate. Monitoring by park staff and volunteers have determined that all remaining closures can be lifted on July 28, 2023.
Per Matt Coghill: the Golden eagle nesting activity has extended Lumpy closures through Aug. 15, 2022 on Sundance, Thunder Buttress, and Needle Summit!
Per A.Eaton: the raptor closures have been lifted as of 6/4/2022 at Lumpy for the following formations:
Twin Owls
Rock One
Batman Rock
Batman Pinnacle
Checkerboard
Lightning Rock

Description
This route lies in the gully left of Osiris, the first large gully on the left side of the book. The route is the next one left of Living Dead. The route is a long, finger crack that starts in a left facing dihedral and goes for a full 150 feet up to some rap anchors on top of the second pitch of Living Dead. A variation called Dead Boy (.10b) takes a thin dicey RP protected traverse right directly to the anchors on Living Dead. This is a beautiful sustained finger crack in good rock. The first 100 feet are about 5.9 and lead up to a difficult 5.11 move in a bulge. After this move 30 feet of solid 5.11 finger jamming make for a pumpy lead up and right to join up with Living Dead's second pitch crux (.10a). A beautiful and worthwhile pitch that eats pro and stays in the shade for most of the day.
