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
Home to the slopey powerhouse "The Strainer," and the ultimate crimp test piece "Green Lung." This boulder receives a good amount of shade, so expect some cooler conditions in the warmer months.
Getting There
Park by the campground entrance. Hike up the little ravine. Near the top, instead of trending left as towards Yosemite Highball, go straight up and to the right. The boulder is fairly obvious and has only one line on it, facing up the canyon. You'll see a prominent bulge-like feature at a steep angle, The Strainer. On the right side of the boulder that faces down canyon you will find Green Lung.
