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

Sitting below the Great Polish Towers, is this fine crag. Beautiful granite riddled with about every kind of climbing imaginable. Routes feature thin crack to slab, overhanging crimpy face to off width. I'm not quite sure of the climbing history in the area, but I thought I would get the ball rolling, there is a lot of potential up in them hills.

I would be surprised (but pleased), to hear about these routes ever getting traffic, but Red Mamba and Afro Blue are both hands down 5 star routes and worth the hike.

There is a water source and a cave that will keep two dry. The rock dries out extremely fast. We were climbing a majority of the time in a slight rain.

70 meter rope required for all rappels.

Getting There

Park at 8 Mile Rock, head up past Secret Dome, follow cairns staying on the shoulder left of the creek until you hit a overhanging slabby crag. Cross the stream when it seems appropriate and follow to "The Trudge Wall". 3 hours if you are motivated.

The other option, which is likely the best, is to spend one day at Value Village, and traverse over from Value Village. It is the clearly visible dome climbers left.

1 hour from Value Village.
