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

Tier of short climbs just above Clamshell Cave wall.

Getting There

Take the trail around the left side of Clamshell wall (left of the namesake cave) until you see a bolted roof feature, which contains the leftmost 2 routes of this upper wall. Hang a right here, passing the roof route and then a series of impossibly hard bolt lines until you see the more reasonable looking fun lines that comprise this wall.
