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
Starts on a perfect hold, works through 6 unbelievably good moves, and finishes on a perfect jug at the lip of the boulder. It's in a stunning and unique natural space. What more could you ask for? For me, it's the perfect boulder problem.
The landing is flat, if a bit damp. An additional challenge is that the conditions should probably be at least decent because the pinch is temp-dependent, which are hard to get because it's in a (beautiful) wetland.
Please take care to only use what space you need in this gorgeous natural space. Right now, there is plenty of room to get to the boulder and work on it - no need to damage any more plant life in there, so please tread cautiously.
