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
Step up and right from the ledge into a shallow flaring hand crack with ample positive face holds. Pro is kinda tricky down low, but it’s all there.
When the crack peters out, step right on chickenheads to a slabby ramp with a bolt, below a squeeze chimney. Step up and into the 15’ fingers-to-hands crack on the left side the chimney, then make a few of moves up, before gaining some jugs and the chains.
5.8 for a few funky moves plus the crux getting up into the crack, otherwise it would go at 5.7. The ending crack protects extremely well.
