Roto Wall Rock Climbing

Each year, the USFS monitors for raptor nesting.

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.

Roto Wall and Bruce's Boulder are on private property, but the landowner has historically allowed public climbing access for decades. However, the landowner has growing liability concerns about formal group use. Access Fund is working with the landowner to address these concerns and permanently conserve the area, but the landowner asks that no formal groups guide or teach courses at this time. General public access and climbing is still allowed.
