Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
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

Access Issue: Raptor fledglings! 7/3/19 - Please avoid this crag!
Details
Raptor fledglings!
From Jeffco Open Space regarding nesting birds in this area (posted 7/3/19):
JCOS observed the nest and determined that based on the body size and plumage, the young are likely about a week away from fledging (taking their first flight from the nest). This is a critical time for the young birds, they are learning to fly and are very powerful yet uncoordinated. After fledging, they will remain in the area, being fed by their parents for about 4 weeks as they learn to hunt. Be aware that these birds can be especially territorial and may act aggressively to defend their nests or young. For your safety and the safety of the birds, please avoid climbing at the crag “Back of the '90s” until the birds have left the area.

Description
Priapos, son of Aphrodite, is a variation that goes straight up the face after Aphrodite's 4th clip. Steep edging and a balancy crux put you to a huge juggy horn. Continue past some easier climbing to the anchors. Lower 100' back to the ledge.
A couple of stars for the good movement and clean rock. Though a bit contrived, I admit, so put your blinders on.
