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
To the left of Birthday Boy is a new route with shiny bolts. Careful clipping the first as there is no belay anchor on the small ledge. The route heads up and to the left over a small hood. From here, staying to the left uses a single bolt and reduces difficulty. Staying in line with the anchor uses 2 bolts, and increases the difficulty and rope drag. Use long draws at the hood to avoid rope substantial rope drag. A bit of runout to a shared anchor with Lunch Money.
