CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 1 (MM 270, W of Tunnel 1). Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

CCC Raptor Nesting Closure 2 (E of Tunnel 2). In 2016, the closure WAS lifted June 9 for ONLY the 2016 season, per Eric Krause, JeffCo OS Ranger. Photo reconfiguration: Ron Keller.

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

The closure is from the junction of Highway 119 and Highway 6 to the junction of Highway 40 and Highway 6 (mile post ~260 to ~257). Vehicles that remain in the closure will be towed at owners expense.

Sundays: 7PM-4AM
Monday-Thursday: 4PM-4AM

Description

This golden brown, standing wave of rock perches high above Tunnel Six. The rock is excellent. The sport routes and 5.7 crack climb are all fun.

Getting There

The formation sits high above Tunnel Six and can easily be seen by looking back from a few hundred yards West of the tunnel. Park on the right, West of Tunnel Six. Cross the road and walk West on the road, past the steep hillsides on the left, until you reach a yellow curve ahead cautionary road sign (across the road) where you can head into the forest above. When you reach the old road bed, head back East on it, above the steep hillsides, to its end. Contour East, hop across a boulder, follow cairns East and uphill to the crag. ~15 minutes. Convenient, eh?
