Please be aware of the annual raptor seasonal closures!
Raptor Closures Effective February 1-July 31

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

Description
This is a 2nd pitch to the The Purrrfect Puppy or Stray Cat.
I'm posting it separate to avoid consensus grade confusion. I don't want to scare anyone away from the first pitch, since it's so fun and easy .
From the anchor of either route mentioned, scramble up to a big ledge. Clip the first bolt as you start up the steepening headwall. Steep rock and jugs lead to a tricky mantel at the 3rd bolt. The last bolt protects a crux lip encounter. Right above the overhang is another nice ledge and the anchor.
