Please protect our access by respecting these closures, talking with those who do not, and notifying BCA when you see something. We are monitoring the birds on a weekly basis and will continue to keep you updated. Remember, disturbance of young birds can impact nest success so it’s your compliance that helps gives these birds space they need and keep our crags open.

Closure Update: 5/2/2020

Due to sensitivity of nesting owls and violations of buffer zones, we have extended the area of protection in Car Body. After consulting with two raptor biologists, all of East Car Body is now closed to all to climbing and any other form of recreation.  The closure extends all the way to The Throb in West Car Body. Please protect our access by not violating these closures and talking with those who do.  

All other closures remain in effect:
HIGHWAY FACE
FACE CANYON
SCARY CANYONEAST CAR BODY

The East Car Body closures includes the trails, please do NOT use the trails on the East Side in Car Body. This is a critical time for the birds and climbers. We are monitoring the birds on a weekly basis and disturbance of young will result in loss of young birds and climbing.

Thank you,
BCA
