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
A sunny mound of rock several hundred feet left of Givler's Dome. The last part of the approach to the leftmost (easier) routes is a bit of an exposed scramble but is fairly safe (just don't trip).
The 5.8 requires no scrambling and appears to be solid rock.
Getting There
Hike up as per Givler's Dome on the same trail. The approach trail can be summed up as "below and left of Givler's Dome".
So as soon as you're within view of Givler's Crack (still a ways from the base of the wall though), start trending leftward through grass and logs. The trail is faint, and very much a choose-your-own-adventure type of deal, sidehilling to the next loaf of granite. Keep an eye out for the obvious standalone ridge with bolts on it (pitch 1 of 3 of Spellbinder, 5.8).
