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
A bouldery start in a vicious left leaning finger crack follows a steep dihedral into a double overhang finish (see topo).
Backstory on the naming: When cleaning Bear Necessities, I popped up over the ledge, and was met by a mother bear and two cubs. The mother bear rushed me. I could not back off quickly enough for the mother bear because I was ascending the rope using a mini traction and back-up knots. When mother bear was a few feet from me, I threw up my arms and roared. She stopped short, which gave me time to fumble with my rappel device and beat a hasty retreat down the route and to lope out of the area.
