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
My only first ascent. After hand drilling the bolts in granite and realizing how dang long it took, I decided to leave FA's to other climbers. Yup, I'm lazy.
Actually a relatively fun and quick climb to tick if you're in the neighborhood. I wouldn't hike the 45 minutes up the trail just for this though. But plenty of other quality lines around to keep you busy for a day.
Fun edgey slab climbing with some 10a moves near the ground being the crux.
Apparently this route is popular as I could see the wear streak from the road last time I visited.
This climb begins in a shallow dish on the far right side of Givler's Dome.
