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
Oh cruelty. I have been trying to decide how to write about this one for a while now. The name isn't really apt anymore, as the bushes have been pushed to the side enough that it isn't a problem.
The way I did this - at something like v1 - was to jump to the lip and topout. Kelly's guide says that you're supposed to actually grab the crimps on the face, paste your feet, and launch to the lip. I'm probably missing something, or maybe it was greasy out, or holds broke, or whatever, but I thought that that way was pretty brutal.
I only spent a few minutes on it, and so it's hard to judge, for sure, by that. Until I hear otherwise, I consider this a cool jump start, or a crispy as hell powerful sandbag v4. Tell me I'm wrong.
Update - finally committed to these sharp holds and did this. It's actually a pretty fun move, apart from the intense gritty-skin-ripping action.
