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
Above B.S., you trend right up knobs plugging gear. Then make a slab traverse right clipping one bolt across the slab. Get to a wide crack, laybacking a few moves before getting into the wide crack which turns into great thin hands above.
Stiffer than other climbs of the grade I've done in the area. Not recommended for those pushing into the grade, harder to protect opening layback from a fall to the slab.
