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
This is an awesome route that layed as an unpolished gem for to long. A perfect eye catching arete with cool moves on neat rock! With permission a bolt was added to the upper face, old hardware replaced and moved to better clipping locations, and finally its own anchor with lower offs all with new SS 3/8 bolts. A cam or two is recommended before clipping the first bolt and pulling the sweet crux moves to gain the upper face of the arete. One more crux with a cool move will be found on the upper face before clipping the anchor. After a full makeover and a scrub down this climb has turned into a coming icicle classic IMO.
