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
This small crag is located just across from 8 Mile Campground and has a few nice cracks and a contrived sport route that can all be led or easily toproped.
Getting There
Park across the road from 8 Mile CG. Chloe's Rib is right by the road. The rest of the routes are a short way down the same face. You can reach these by continuing along the wall and doing a small scramble up the gulley or continuing on the trail till you're about level with the top of the wall. There's a small offshoot going left from trail that descends to the base of the climb.
