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
Another variation coming out the Hanta Man cave. Begins on hanta man and climbs to the jug/finger lock at the lip of that problem. Continue left up the lip opposite ‘Superman’ with slopers and crimps under the lip, pulling over as per ‘Superman’. The FA suggested V11.
Additionally there is the ‘She-ra’ version which starts as per ‘Spare me the details’ and as such doesn’t use the finger lock jug near the top of ‘HM’ and ‘NP,NG’…besides this possible eliminate status, it’s a better line IMO without the rock in your back and a more straight line.
Not the best rock quality on the right side of the cave, but another one to try if you’ve done all the others, ‘She-Ra’ particularly felt as hard/ harder than anything else in the cave… just my $.02
Location
Upper Mad Meadows, in the awesome cave on the scenic bench. Views, steep climbing, and a cool hang! This line climbs from deep inside the cave, exiting to the right side and up the lip to the apex of the boulder. Scramble off the back of the block.
Protection
Several pads. Nice flat landing with the exception of the small boulder in the ground at the start.
