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
This little lower section of Madsen’s Buttress offers very engaging face climb routes with excellent features and protection.
Getting There
This sub-area is located on the right side of the notorious and iconic 5.13 “Visor” (also known as “Fairy Tale”), roughly 100 ft after the Snow Creek Trailhead parking lot. Two obvious sport routes on the right side and one trad route in the left (on the right side of a young pine tree).
