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
Even though this boulder problem wasn’t originally a thing, I figured I’d add it as it has nice movement and is another nice double digit that’s not as hard as Off the Books, so it could become popular. Full credit goes out to Drew for seeing the vision and adding this sequence of moves after doing a V13. For those curious, this is technically the “extension” portion of Catillac Extension (V13/14), and Shame on Knee Extension (V14).
For the V10(ish) ending of Drew’s lines, as posted here, begin near the tower of boulders where Catillac... ends, standing on an up-cave facing jug block. Make tension-y moves on sweet pinches, crimps, and a crack hold or two, and finish by matching a chalked jug on the ledge where the roof ends, in the very back of the cave. Sweet movement and rock make this a substantial step up from the other V10 in the cave, IMHO.
Location
Higher in the roof than the ending of Catillac, locate the jug block behind the breakdown pile (which is off), and climb the roof to its ending.
