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

One of the most iconic boulders in Leavenworth, often home to a sea of pads when conditions are good.

Getting There

Just before reaching the first boulders of Lower Mad Meadows, head up the right fork to avoid the scramble/climbers/pads. Once up to level ground, continue along trail down-canyon (don't turn left towards Playground), trail will dip downhill slightly to a very apparent freestanding pillar/detached rock on your left, then start heading uphill a bit. When it levels out, the Amphitheater problems will be down to the right. For Pimpsqueak, continue straight a few yards then hard right into a passageway between two short walls (Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are on the left wall). From there, Pimpsqueak will be visible 20 yds further; the last small boulder with Dog Log, etc. is just behind Pimpsqueak through the trees.
