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
The Amphitheater hosts a set of moderate problems in a quiet setting. You're likely to have the area to yourself.
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.
