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
Three well-protected fun pitches on good rock (recently re-scrubbed).
P1: On the right side of the alcove scramble onto a blunt arete and follow several bolts through several thought-provoking mantles to a small ledge. Follow a discontinuous hand crack in a dihedral up to the chains on the right side of a spacious ledge. 5.10
P2: On the left side of the ledge, climb up a short handcrack onto an exposed slab/arete. Pad your way up the slab/aerete clipping several bolts until you reach a bolted rightward traverse to a handcrack and a spacious ledge with a 2-bolt anchor. 5.10
Note: Going straight up without traversing left is the direct variation. 11+.
P3: From the 2-bolt anchor make thin moves onto easier face climbing passing three bolts. Move left around the corner and up a flaring thin hands crack passing a bolt to a ledge. Continue up the face passing another bolt to a 2-bolt belay on another ledge. 5.11-
