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.
Previous years: per Dustin Bergman, CO State Parks Officer #770, ECSP:
Seasonal Raptor Closures
Check Park site for current closures:

Double check prior to venturing there. Thanks!
Description
This is a great Eldo face climb: never easy; never THAT hard; but always interesting.
Start by following the first 30' of Werk Supp. When you step right to gain the splitter crack (place some gear here!), instead of heading straight up, venture diagonally up and right following a dark band of rock. Climb past a stance with some mediocre gear, then make a spooky move to reach the first of two bolts. Once at the second bolt, launch straight up the 11b second half of Madame de Guillotine, finishing at the second belay of The Bastille Crack.
A couple words of warning: the gear before the first bolt is not that great and is a bit spaced. Also, judicious use of very long runners is advised.
