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
It is possible that this route has only seen 2 redpoint ascents in the last 30 years. To my knowledge, Todd worked on this route for a week or two before completing the FFA. And, I've been told that he graded it merely 12d because at the time, some of his other routes had been downgraded. This route is likely 13a which would make this Washington State's first in the 5.13 grade. Never Never is much better led than Top roped. It is simply too steep. Love that this climb starts with two side ways fist jams. Classic.
