Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
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.

Description
Down on the beach area of Barney's Rubble. This squat little boulder features a curving polished Fin of nice granite. Start as low as possible (sand fluctuates as well as water in the landing area) squeezing with hands and feet on the Fin. A cool knob and more squeezing lead up to cool holds and a fun rock over move to top out. Crux is getting off the ground and up to better holds and footholds that allow you to pop to a good hold below the lip.
