TR: The first three routes on Nip can be toproped via a scramble to the W.

It appears, though, that this rock does not see as much traffic as some of the rocks closer to Boulder - lichen abounds on the rock. The base is very belayer-friendly - the warm sun basks the base in sun for a long time, and there is a soft clearing around. On a corner it is sheltered from the winds and car noise is at a minimum. It has cracks, to aretes, to sheer faces.

Check back periodically during times of closure for updates. This monitoring program is a partnership with the Forest Service Boulder Ranger District, Boulder Climbing Community, and Audubon Society. However, the area is monitored and closures are periodically lifted early (due to no active nest, nest site failure, or early fledging). Depending on updated information, the closure time can be shortened or lengthened.Д®ach year, Boulder Canyon raptor nesting area closures are in effect starting February 1st through July 31st at Eagle Rock, Security Risk, Blob Rock, and Bitty Buttress.

Only employees, volunteers, and wildlife professionals under an agreement with the Forest Service enter nesting areas for monitoring purposes. It is against federal and state law to disturb any nesting bird of prey. The Boulder Ranger District partners with the Boulder Climbing Community and the Access Fund to monitor nesting progress and to inform climbers about the importance of giving the eagles space to raise their young. Happy Hour, Bihedral and Riviera remain open as long as visitors stay out of the closed areas. These areas are located along Colorado Highway 119, approximately 1.5 miles east of Boulder Falls.Д®ffective through July 31, 2020, the closures protect a long-established golden eagle nesting territory. The annual nesting closures include popular rock climbing spots at Eagle Rock, Blob Rock, Bitty Buttress and Security Risk in Boulder Canyon. Once chosen, the nest site stays closed until the eagles fledge in late July,вЂќ said DeNasha.ДЄfter the eaglesвЂ™ site selection was made unused areas reopened in April. These closures allow the birds to pick the best site for survival without impact of other factors, such as human presence. вЂњGolden eagle pairs are most susceptible to disturbance when choosing a nesting site. Post-fledging visits to the nest did not reveal the exact cause of death of the second chick, but cooperation by climbers with the closures are crucial to the eaglesвЂ™ success each season. вЂњTwo chicks hatched initially, but unfortunately only one survived to fledge, which isnвЂ™t uncommon in birds of prey.вЂќ

вЂњThe Boulder Canyon eagles successfully raised one strong and healthy eaglet this year,вЂќ said wildlife biologist Aurelia DeNasha with the USDA Forest Service.
