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.
Location
Left side of the crag. Scramble left under the overhanging 10+ sport route to a ledge with a bolted belay anchor. Top rope access might be available by walking downhill/downstream (climbers right) around the dome.
Description
From the belay station move up through the squeeze corner, follow a few feet of crack up and left, and then move right to a ledge. From the ledge make a move up and follow the slab and crack features to the anchor. Shares a chained anchor with the sport 10+.
There is a bit of hollow rock inside the cracks at the start of this route. It climbs OK but be thoughtful about where you place your pro. You'll puzzle out some sort of pro at the middle ledge but the optimal placement might be a hex.
