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
secluded area on a lovely bench above the 420 and upper 420 boulders. the reflection of perfection bloc is massive and hard to miss. other blocs abound. great upper valley views.
Getting There
head to the 420 boulders, slightly before arriving find faint trail heading uphill towards a small cluster of blocs on a hillside. ( upper 420's). upon reaching the upper 420's make your way up the hillside directly via switch backs around cliffs or up a dirty loose gully. no real "trail", loose, kinda sketchy, and watch for snakes at face level while negotiating steep parts. above is the bench/plateau. you will see the massive eponymous boulder.
