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 beginner-friendly traverse that lets you feel like a pro without leaving your comfort zone. This fun, low commitment problem winds its way from left to right on the south side of the Amphitheater Boulder. Never more than a few feet off the ground, one must delicately tip toe 30 feet to a flat juggy finish near the tree. Don’t forget to double smear and pose for an epic finish!
Note: If anyone has details on the original ascent, feel free to share. Received feedback that the boulder problem has been around for 40 years. It’s a great project for the Spring/Fall and/or when there is lite rain in the forecast.
