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

Bush Gardens is a broken outcrop 5 minutes uphill from Deb's Crack. The main feature here is a hand/fist crack at the lowest point of the wall. Several bolted anchors can be found near the top of the wall, and a few good trees can also be used. This area saw a transformation over the winter/spring 18 when the wall broke apart top to bottom 15 feet left of the main crack, leaving behind new features and several tons of rubble and boulders at the base.

Getting There

Take the trail for Deb's crack. Once at the top of Deb's, look uphill to see the crag. bushwhack and scramble uphill for about 5 minutes until at the base. A mellower "trail" exists further out to the right but isn't very direct. the top of the wall can be easily accessed from climber's right.
