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 JY boulders are a fantastic area of Icicle Creek that features a nice selection of boulders in a beautiful meadow setting. The approach is steep but short, and the climbing is as good as it gets.
The upper JY boulders are also known as The Kong boulders, the other boulders consist of the Yosemite Boulder, Green Lung, Mad Max boulders, the Gamecube (consisting of Sega V3, Wario V0, and Bowser V3), and Nosebleed boulder. Beautiful meadow setting and a pleasant spot in the spring and fall with a late-day sun. Great mix of classic routes as well. (Added by Ahad H.)
