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
No Room For Squares is on the left side of Pearly Gates. Of the three continuous crack lines just left of the small tree, this one is the leftmost. Fun climbing up a fingers-to-hands crack leads to a steeper and thinner crux at about 2/3 height. If the moves are too much you can move around to the left.
Protection
Standard trad rack to about 3". Anchor is bolted, and a 60m rope is long enough to TR.
