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
A distinctive crag above the Geode. It has a prominent jutting overhang topping the obvious prow. There are a couple hard routes here (the namesake T-Rex) and a few moderates on either side of the prow.
Getting There
Same parking for Bridge Creek crags. Follow the trail past the Geode, then uphill toward the visible T-Rex overhang. The path gets a bit overgrown so pay special attention to the numerous cairns to stay on course. This will take about 15 minutes. There is little shade so on a hot day the approach will feel like a slog.
