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
I really just wanted to add this to memorialize a once-cool boulder problem (that unfortunately broke years ago). This might seem silly, but it's a little piece of Leavenworth bouldering history. The boulder is right off the road and there are still a couple of (unbroken) problems there, so it might be worth a brief look if in the area.
Getting There
I can't remember exactly where the pullout is for this one, but I think it's just past Bridge Creek campground on the right (heading away from town, of course). Look for a west facing wall up a short hill from the road. I think there is a large dome of rock on the left side of the road either before or after the area. I apologize for the crappy directions.
