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
Start on the rail on the right, and work up left to the super-condition dependent pinch and the nice sharp right-hand gaston. Power up, in control and slightly to the left, to a left-facing jug rail. Totally amazing. Great movement. Tensiony and technical. I thought it was harder than Cruise Control, but it was pretty hot. One the best in the area.
Location
Around the corner to the right from The Shield, Bedroom Bully, Drill Sergeant. The eponymous pinch is in the middle of a vertical but gently scooped-out feature on the face. Just left of Fiend It, and Busted.
Protection
2-3 pads. Kind of a funky landing, and it traverses, so it helps to have a couple pads and spotter.
[Hide Photo] Feelin' the pinch, the gaston, and the dampness... It's all good though as these holds, the movement, the setting is fantastic! Do this bloc!!!
