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
Route to the right of Cutting Teeth that follows a bolted line to the right side of the big tree in the middle of wall.
Well bolted, slab climb up to a good ledge where the mid route rap station is. Lay back a short corner crack to a small roof. Continue into more slab climbing up to a nice hand rail flake to the anchors.
There are no bolts once you get to the flake up high. You can place gear or run it out if you are comfortable with about 30ft of low angle 5.4ish to the anchor.
Also, when lowering, make sure to keep your rope out of the flake to minimize rope drag.
