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.

Access Issue: Day Use Only/No Campfires
Details
Day use only and no campfires in the Forestland/Barney's Rubble parking area and vicinity.
Description
One of the best bouldering areas in the Icicle, with a good number of developed problems at all grades. Everthing from burly low starts to super sketchy highballs, with landings ranging from great to deadly. High quality featured granite boulders abound, and there are plenty of outliers for when the main areas are crowded.
Getting There
Drive 5.7 miles up Icicle Road past. You will pass Barney's Rubble, an obvious cragging area just off the road on your right. Take the first right after Barney's up a dirt road and park at the end. Hike the obvious trail into the forest, crossing a stream. In 3 minutes you'll come to a clearing and the start of the boulders.
