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 area was developed in the summer of 2023. Many climbers have walked by this out crop for years. The horizontal breaks of the left out crop have caught my eye for a long time. The flat meadow and short approach mixed with easy grades and accessible top ropes make this a great hang for the family as well as a good place to practice easy sport and trad leading.
Getting There
Take the Fist boulder trail entrance from the Clamshell/Mad Meadows parking strip. Take trail straight up drainage just past Hammer head and turn left up hill. once up short hill walk on relatively flat ground and start looking right. If you run into creek you have gone to far. Should be 5min from car
