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
Climb straight up on "juggy huecos and pockets." Although it's exhilarating and airy because of the sloping landing into the abyss below, there's nothing too special about the movement on this line. Sit on the top ledge and chill out for a bit to take in the view. Traverse left and then down the crack to get down. If you're a pebble wrestler like me, then the down climb will be harder than going up.
This one is hard to protect, but it's very easy. A pad for the up climb and a pad for the down climb may boost confidence, but falling is not an option in the first place.
