Access Issue: Day Use Only/No Campfires
Details
Day use only and no campfires in the Forestland/Barney's Rubble parking area and vicinity.
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
Classic dynamic movement on great rock. Start on 2 chest-height crimps and fire up and right for a good incut edge. Topout directly above.
Location
In the lower Forestlands, on the obvious large face of the main boulder.
Protection
Crash pad, spotter

Also, done years ago from a sit start by Jay Keener, though I'm not sure if those holds have changed enough that it feels similar. Oct 12, 2022
