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
The Shard is not a new problem, but it was climbed post-2007, so it's not in Kelly's 1st edition. It starts with both hands on the big rounded sloper dish on the far left side of the rail. Climb right through techy sloper moves, and top out by rocking over once you reach the end of the rail, using decent crimps.
Not certain about the grade so please contribute to the consensus if you've done it.
