Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
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
According to Victor Kramar's guidebook "Leavenworth Rock", this is currently the right-most developed route on the cliff. This route follows the obvious and striking "laser cut" finger crack. It is a very short route with the crux at the beginning; the difficulty drops as the route becomes slabbier with some horizontal cracks. Unfortunately and regrettably, this route currently does not have an anchor (at least not a modern anchor), so be forewarned before attempting this route. There are two rusted old pins with rings on the sandy, sloping, chossy ledge directly above the crack (perhaps another 15 feet straight up from the crack), but getting to these rings is not straightforward or easily protectable. Really what this route needs is a modern anchor installed at the top of the crack, below the small roof. If this route had a modern anchor, it would be a gem, as the finger crack is superb, with many good constrictions and small feet on the face. It is a great entry finger crack for a beginning leader new to finger cracks. But again, be forewarned that there is no anchor, currently.
