Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closure
Details
2023 info: jeffco.us/1531/Alerts-Closures
The Cathedral Spires area, including Block Tower, Cynical Pinnacle, Snake Buttress, the Dome, Hall of Mirrors, Sunshine Wall, and Poe Buttress, are closed annually starting March 1 for raptor nesting. After careful monitoring of nest sites, Jefferson County Open Space opens certain areas of Cathedral Spires and maintain spot closures for active nests through July 31st. Check back periodically during times of closure for updates: jeffco.us/open-space/parks/…
Note, JeffCo Open Space has notified us that access to The Bishop and Poop Point (along with all the Cathedral Spires Area) currently goes across JeffCo OS land. Despite information in some guidebooks (published or soon-to-be-published), the entire Cathedral Spires area is subject raptor nesting closures. Please be aware of the hefty fines associated with failure to observe these regulations.

Description
This route takes the central gully of the Block Tower in 4 pitches. Although moderately rated, most climbers will find the route challenging unless well versed in unprotected wide chimneying. This route alternates with sections of perfect, water-washed granite and groveling past gravel filled constrictions. A fun S.Platte adventure climb.
Location
The climb starts to the right of Hurt Dance on the right side of the large boulder leaning on the face. This is left of the obvious, sickle-shaped, left-facing, shallow corner/flake (Bungi Man). Hike down between the Poe Buttress and Block Tower.
