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
Short of chasing recently cooled magma flows, this area is about as fresh as you're going to get. In late 2011, there was a massive landslide that ripped down the north side of icicle, taking out everything in its path, including the road. It deposited two huge boulders, covered in a much dirt as a newborn baby is slime. Local climbers went to work to clean these things off, and a handful of great problems emerged from the dust.
As of fall 2013, the landslide is less recognizable as such, with verdant greens growing throughout. A steady stream runs through it, and there are enough trees to even find some shade.
The two boulders are about the size of a garage and a shed, and the rock is of the best Leavenworth quality, although perhaps with less texture.

Getting There
7.2 miles from the departure of Icicle road from route 2, look for the fresher pavement a few hundred feet from the 8 mile campground entrance. There are smaller boulders on the downhill side of the road that were dragged out of the way by benevolent construction workers, and some drill holes in one of them. Hike uphill, on the right (east) side of the stream, and look for a small cairn to cross. You'll see the large boulders from the road until it gets grown back in. It's a 5 minute hike.
