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
Mostly forgotten crag with some entertaining moderate routes. A short approach and the wall gets decent shade in the heat of the day too; great for a short day out.
Getting There
9 miles up the Icicle- the trail starts about 50 yards downstream from Egg Rock, which is visible from the road. When facing Egg Rock, this wall is behind it and to the right. You can see it from about 10 feet in from the road- just look for two crazy tall ponderosa pines with bright red bark and no branches for the first 40 feet.
