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.

Getting There
From Keen Acres, head climber's right up the little hill, past some big maples, and over a baby saddle. From there, you'll walk downhill a few dozen steps and across a grassy ledge with an anchor with no chains; the trail is faint here. The first route (look for bolt line) is on your left and ends at the right edge of an obvious roof feature. The rest of the routes are a few hundred feet to the right, on an obvious low angle wall.
