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

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:

Access Issue: Private Property - be aware & respectful
Details
Per Daniel Dunn, Stewardship Manager, Boulder Climbing Community ((803) 443-8822): this crag is on private property. The landowners are aware of the climbing on their property and continue to allow access for rock climbers. It is critical for long term access that everyone who climbs here is respectful and does their part to keep the crag in good shape. For more information on how to be a good steward, check out the Climber's Pact from Access Fund.
Description
With 2 "cruxy" sections separated by some enjoyable and engaging climbing, this is a nice route. Closely bolted, it starts with a steep section through/around some overhanging rock. Near the final bolt there is another tough bulge.
Location
It is on the far left side of the crag. There is another route to the left, but this one starts in an alcove of sorts, just left of Son of Flubber. Just follow the cliff to the leftmost line of bolts you spot. Climb 10 feet up a low angle slab/boulder to the first bolt. You can see several bolts through this steep section. It is the most roof-like feature here.
