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 long unique and very well featured climb sums up this rarely visited icicle classic! Start out with some either reachy or bouldery moves to gain the first bolt. Climb up shallow cracks and horizontals placing gear to reach the second bolt. Climb over a small roof (placing gear) then some easy climbing will bring you to another small roof. Climb through more fun cracks and horizontals to where you'll find the third bolt that protects the crux of the route. After negotiating the crux climb up to the last bolt and take it to the top on cool knobs and really nice big pockety features! This is a full 40m pitch and the ends of my 80m rope barley touch the ground after lowering.
