The Boulder Climbing Community is happy to announce that the seasonal closures on Blob rock, Bitty Buttress and Security Risk in Boulder Canyon have been lifted for 2020. We want to remind climbers that Eagle rock is still closed to climbing and any activities until July 31, 2020.

Each year the BCC and USFS Boulder Ranger District partner to monitor nesting Golden Eagles in Boulder Canyon. The active management strategy is designed to give the eagles the space they need while choosing a nesting site and allow climbers to regain access to unaffected areas once a nest has been chosen. For this system to work we need climbers to be informed and respect any active closures. We normally use a number of volunteers to make this program happen, but given the current situation and social distancing protocols we are having to rely on a small, select group including BCC board members and key community members. The BCC is committed to the stewardship of our climbing areas and continuing to run all of our programs as we are able.

While Blob rock, Bitty Buttress and Security Risk are now open to climbing, we are asking all climbers to please make responsible decisions about whether to visit them or not. We still feel that the best thing climbers can do right now is to stay home, but if you insist on climbing please follow all regulations and social distancing guidelines.
