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

Buckle up for some weirdness and heinous "projects" (they've probably been climbed by some strong lunatic years ago). Throwin' the Houlihan is a fantastic V4 with some gym-like slab moves that are unusual for the outdoors. There is a left 2 finger crimp and sloper exit "project," a slopery vertical "project" to the right side of the boulder, and there looks like there may be some heinous compression and crimp moves on the backside.

Getting There

At the parking for Batman, walk up the road to the faint red telephone marker on the right side of the road. Directly across the street (the river's side) you should be able to see Throwin' the Houlihan, which has a weird vertical block feature. Keep walking up until you see a trail on that side of the road that goes down and left to the boulder.
