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 can be tricky to find, but it contains a couple of great problems including the namesake V8.
Getting There
The WAS boulder is approximately 6.1 miles up the canyon from town. It's just past the Answer Man area, and the boulder itself is below the road just before you reach a parking pullout. There is a faint trail down off the road, and once you're in the trees you'll be standing right on top of the boulder.
The top of the boulder is only a few feet below the road, so if you find yourself bushwhacking through the trees with no rock in sight you're probably not in the right spot.
