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 is the sunny crag that you encounter on the way up towards Peak-A-Boo Tower. Routes follow thin cracks on a long slab. Lengths vary from about 70 to 150 feet. The climbs use a combination of traditional and fixed protection. Rock is a nice granite, typical of the area.
Note: The climbs on this crag are generally softly graded, which is atypical of Leavenworth.
