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
Description
Start matched on the low right sidepull - not quite a SDS, but you are pretty low. Span your left hand to a sidepull crimp feature working your feet up. Latch a small crimp with your right hand working more small foot holds. Utilize crimps and delicate footwork balance positions to reach the ledge feature near the top statically. Alternatively, others will benefit from either a full throw or a semi-launch/glide to the ledge which has a sweet spot.
