Access Issue: Day Use Only/No Campfires
Details
Day use only and no campfires in the Forestland/Barney's Rubble parking area and vicinity.
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
Start on Breadline as for Joe's Traverse but instead of finishing up on the Real Thing continue right and around the corner until eventually reaching the Concavity crack. Finish up on the easy crack and enjoy the feeling of good holds for the first time in what has now been a rather long journey. This finish is definitely a bit harder than finishing up the real thing but no harder than the traverse part of Joe's Traverse. I would say going right is around V5/6 but grades are arbitrary.
Location
On the main face of the Real Thing boulder
Protection
4 Pads, it's all close to the ground so not really necessary but nice to have.
