Fort Collins, Colo. (March 7, 2024) – to protect nesting birds of prey, the U.S. Forest Service is implementing annual area closures in several popular recreation areas throughout the Canyon Lakes Ranger District. The closures include Triple Tier, south of CO Highway 14; Boston Peak, north of CO Highway 14; Grazing Allotment Crag, northwest of Prairie Divide Road; and Mt. Olympus, southeast of US Highway 34. See the closure map for more details. Effective through July 31, 2024, the closures protect established raptor territories to ensure the birds remain undisturbed during sensitive breeding and nesting seasons.
The Canyon Lakes Ranger District partners with Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the Northern Colorado Climbers Coalition to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving raptors space to raise their young.
Federal and state laws prohibit disturbing any nesting bird of prey. Visitors can help protect wildlife by respecting all closures. Signs will be posted at key access points into the closed areas. Additional closure information is available online.

Description
This was an old project of Craig Luebben's. Craig's version goes right at the last roof to finish through some awkward chimney feature. I bolted the line directly up the beautiful steep arete that hangs over CO Highway 14.
Location
Left of The Odyssey, climb easy terrain to a tricky move over a small roof. The crux comes right at the first roof - an inverted kneebar is crucial. More pumpy climbing on big holds with big span leads to the exposed finishing arete.
NOTE: this route will lower you right into the middle of the east bound lane of CO Hwy 14. You can clip back through the chain draws on the way down to avoid this.
