Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
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
Main Area contains the problems listed in the most recent Leavenworth bouldering guidebook, plus additional problems that have been developed since it was published. Even though it is in the guidebook, there is still a good chance of having the whole area to yourself. It contains a wide variety of problems from thin slab to vertical jug hauls to interesting overhangs (and one massive roof that doesn't have any problems... yet?).
Getting There
Park at The Fist boulder 5.2 miles up Icicle Road (just past the Mad Meadows wood sign).
Hike straight past The Fist boulder and trend uphill to the left; 20-30 yards before a stream crossing, head uphill on a path to the right through some pines. Another 5-10 minutes later, you'll hit the obvious Whale boulder (stay on main path, don't take any of the little side trails, unless you want to see the view). If you forget to turn right before the stream crossing, you'll end up at Clamshell Cave.
