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
Listed as a bold lead in the Kramar guide this route has been retro bolted except the top and is safe. Probably two ways to finish and we went right into some easy loose blocks with some lichen. Not a great climb but adds another route to the crag.
Location
First route on the left side of the arĂȘte next to Arms Control.
Protection
4 bolts and a couple cams for the top. Fixed anchor.
