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
Start matched on the incut on the left of the boulder in the crack. Traverse right using whatever hands you can find in the crack and small feet. Compress as much as you can when you get to the big boulder, swinging your feet from the left to right side. Top out via Band of Gypsies.
Location
On the Machine Gun boulder.
Protection
One pad works as long as someone's moving it with you.
