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
Underwear Rock is a popular area for newer climbers due to its short approach, shade, flat landing, and accessible problems.
Getting There
Underwear rock is visible on the right when driving up Icicle Rd, a little less than 9 miles from the junction with highway 2. Park at the beach lot on the opposite side of the road a couple yards further up-canyon.
This is a popular spot for climbers and other people enjoying Icicle, be considerate and park nose-in.
