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

A mix of sport and trad routes 10 minutes above fridge boulder.

Getting There

From behind the Fridge Boulder (3.5 miles up Icicle Road on the right) follow the well worn trail downstream for several feet before heading uphill along a creek that runs in spring. 100 yards or so uphill will see a trail that heads left crossing the creek, follow that (heading right will take you towards Ski Tracks Crack).

All good quality. Good for when it is rainy up canyon, often dry around here up to Careno, same for early season snow, drys out first here.
Beware of the 3 leaf poison ivy at base of climbs. Jun 30, 2014

Great area and some really fun climbs.. Only complaints are the copious amounts of poison ivy and hornets nests! Sep 2, 2019

Lots of poison ivy at this crag! It's actually convinced me (twice now) not to climb Hundred Dollar Dash and April Mayhem. Everything from Sonic Boom left has less but still present. May 31, 2022
