Crags on Eldorado Mountain, such as Mickey Mouse wall and Cryptic Crags, are outside of park boundaries and may still be subject to Boulder County closures.
Previously in 2023: per M. McHugh, ECSP: the upper loop of the Rattlesnake Gulch Trail, above the Crags Hotel Ruin, & the
Continental Divide Overlook, is closed effective immediately. This included Continental Crag.
These areas are closed to all activities, including rock climbing & hiking, through 7/15 or until further notice, to protect nesting golden eagles on the S side of the canyon.
Golden Eagles are protected by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service under authority of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A conviction of nest disturbance can carry a fine to $5,000 & one year imprisonment.
See the map in the photo section for terrain closure.

Description
What pairs best with Blueberry Boodle and Apple Strudel? Dandelion Wine, of course. This was named in honor of Garth Sundem's community ditch, home brew wine that sometimes accidentally makes its way into Eldorado Canyon on Tuesday afternoons.
Start on the first two bolts of Parting Shot (use extended alpine draws), break right, climb 4 bolts of fun 5.11, and then join the final bolts of Blueberry Boodle/Apple Strudel's P2. This ending section needs a couple micro-cams (#00 through fingers). It is a magnificent 50 meter pitch and is very reasonable by Eldo standards.
Belay at the tree with tat.
Do a double rope rap back down or two raps going by Apple Strudel's anchors with a single rope. Anchors will be placed soon, and the tat will be removed from the tree.
