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 broken crag with 3 moderate routes offers some shade and a short approach. As of 2010 the routes are a bit scruffy but will surely clean up with some traffic. All 3 anchors can be accessed for easy toprope setting around the right side.

Getting There

From Hammerhead rock (a short distance upstream of mile post 5) head up the trail looking for an overgrown spur to the left before the main trail veers right through the drainage on the left. Follow the spur a couple hundred feet to the base of the climbs. Approach time 3-5 min.
