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
The Off Duty area is on the right side of Duty Dome proper, above Fish Wall. The climbs here receive full sun and become scorching hot on a clear summer day. A 60m rope is a good idea, as most climbs at Off Duty require 100' rappels.
Getting There
Hike the approach trail up the gully as if heading to Peek-a-boo tower. Around the elevation of Keen Acres on the right, a faint spur trail branches left to the base of Off Duty. This approach takes 20-30 minutes. It is also possible to scramble to the base of Off Duty from the gully separating Duty Dome and Fish Wall.
