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

Continue up the hill from Purina Crags towards Careno Crag. A dark prow is obvious as you ascend the trail. The central line up the prow is the name sake and a definite test piece. The anchor needs repair as the nylon slings are rotted out and covered in dried mud. The quarter inch bolts are rusted and difficult to trust. The area gets afternoon shade.
