Access Issue: New Emergency Closure
Details
Emergency Raptor Closure of Der Freischutz and surrounding formations:
OSMP is enacting a closure to protect cliff nesting raptors at Der Freischutz on Dinosaur Mountain — please see the attached map. The closure includes the BUBBLE and the Dinosaur Eggs formations.
On Wednesday of this week, OSMP staff and volunteers observed that the prairie falcon pair that typically occupies Bear Creek Spire had relocated to the Der Freischutz formation.
The pair’s timing is in the ballpark that if they succeed and fledge young, the formation will open with other closures on or about July 31st.
As a result of the move, OSMP is lifting the closure for Bear Creek Spire.
Those approaching Overhang Rock from Mallory Cave trail will need to approach from Bear Creek Spire going forward or until Bear Canyon trail is reopened.

Description
Rehatch is an interesting route with East-facing chimney and South-facing face climbing. From NCAR, hike down to and up Bear Canyon to past Bear Creek Spire (1st strata), go up gully past Southern Dinosaur Egg to Northern Dinosaur Egg. Find a prominent, East-facing chimney. The rating comes from the guidebook, which didn't seem so far off as to change it.
P1. Ascend this chimney (unusual for the Denver area), finding occasional jaunts out right of the chimney, pass a chockstone, and belay on a second chockstone (a long pitch).
P2. Step across and move on to the right side of the South face via improbable looking face holds (crux) to the top (short pitch), 5.5+.
Descent: rappel from the anchor on top about 125' to the ground. A single 60m rope rap will leave you with some downclimbing. Rappelling from the top anchor may potentially leave a difficult rope pull. There is a 2nd anchor shortly below the top that can be utilized to reduce rope drag.
