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

The Guide's Wall, located below the Clamshell Cave, is a small area with approximately three routes. The two 5.6 cracks in the middle and left of the crag would be great climbs to get acquainted with placing gear and crack climbing. There are three sets of bolted anchors on the main cracks. The top of the crag is easily accessible from below and has a lot of options for natural anchors.
