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
Follow the nice smooth (and surprisingly positive) slopers on the right arete to the top. There is also a sharper vertical dihedral/crack in the middle of the face that can be used. Rating is probably dependent on which holds are used (plus side, variations possible! Arete only, dihedral only, compress between both. One big dyno?)
Location
From Pimpsqueak, continue east through trees to first large boulder. It is on the east side of the boulder (furthest away from Pimpsqueak).
