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

A small crag sitting below Givler's dome and Mastadon roof. The climbing is slabby in nature. Only a few routes here but they are worthwhile if in the general area.

Getting There

A bit tricky. One way is to take the somewhat faint trail above domestic dome which leads to the base of the Old Piton route. from there, you can ascend old piton or walk right, and back left to reach the upper tier of the wall, which contains 2 much better routes. Another (and arguably better) way is to take the Givler's dome trail until you are just above Wart Wall, and traverse over to the east where it drops down to the left side of the crag.
