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
Long ignored, but deserving more attention. The chimney can be climbed mostly as a straight in crack. The crux is some steep face climbing getting into the chimney.
When I was on this some very large rocks peeled off near the start. It is cleaner now, but requires some thin insecure face moves that are very hard to protect. There is a shallow cam placement on the left side but the rock is soft there. I was considering adding a bolt. If you climb this let me know if you think it is needed.
