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
Fun route with a bit more broken crack system and more unique gear placement challenges/ opportunities. Slabby start is a bit tricky to protect until first horizontal crack. After that it's nice cracks that take good gear (finger to big hands).
5.9 variation by starting farther to the right in a small overhanging/roof section.
Location
Start on the obvious line to the right of middle route.
Protection
BD #.5 to #3. Bolted anchor with rap rings at top.
