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
I'd rate this as a 3-star climb because it's a really fine example of a pure friction slab. Don't waste any time looking for holds, just smear and go- it's better if you don't think about it too long! First bolt is a pretty safe clip, then puzzle out the moves left. This is the crux of the route and it takes place below the first bolt. Higher up it'll get quite sporty, but always plenty of bolts to keep you off the ledge. An intermediate (2-bolt) anchor has been added at the ledge after the first two bolts.
