A pair of golden eagles regularly nest on Bridge Creek Wall. When in effect, starting January 1, PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB or travel within 1/2 mile of Bridge Creek Wall. As a reference, the climb Condorphamine Addiction is just outside of this 1/2 mile buffer, and is OK to climb still. The closure extends through August 15, but there is active monitoring to determine if the seasonal closure can be lifted earlier.
In 2014, there was an active pair of peregrine falcons at Snow Creek Wall, but no official closure was put in effect due to the location of the falcons. The site will be continually monitored with changes or removal of closures updated as necessary.
Description
Previously called "The Original Route" this stunning corner crack will test all of your skills and take all of your gear. Layback, stem, face climb, and jam your way up to the crux at the very end. Good steming just before the top will allow you to work out the cruxy overhanging moves to get up over the lip and to the chains.
p1. Climb the obvious splitter corner crack to chains at the top.
p2 (highly recommended). Go up the dirty right facing corner above the anchors with some exposure to a fun cruxy (11-) right facing corner against a flake, after the crux continue up the thin right facing corner until the finger/tips crack ends and leaves you with a thin tips/fingers horizontal crack out left that seems to go to nowhere(10+). Trust that this crack continues and follow it as it peters out to a slab with one bolt and continue navigating your way until you feel like your running out of rope and top out the feature.
