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
delicate face climbing past 5 bolts, leftward traverse into fun right facing corner crack, through 2 bulges.The traverse can be made high or low, with the low moves more protected by bolt.
Location
Starts at the level of the 4th pitch of the Regular route and directly left of it.
This is at the level of the broad ledge and large Ponderosa pine tree, also the walk off to the right.
Protection
gear to 2", 5 bolts, mostly finger size gear.
Bolted chain rap anchor.
The older anchor is for the regular route, a better newer anchor above that.
