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 first 2 pitches are quite good, I did them as one 160' pitch. The walk off leaves something to be desired like a trail.
Location
When you come up to the top of the broad gully you might find the Memorial sign which is falling apart, the Crystal cave will be directly above you and the gully will narrow down to a slippery slab turning into a small waterfall on the right. there are several routes here, the twin cracks are the start, belay about 20' below because there is nowhere to stand near the cracks.
Protection
standard rack to 3", when there is a fixed pin listed you know there is funky slab moves, pin is good, crux move. The first belay is listed as single bolt at ledge, I kept going.
3rd pitch: continue up wide crack till at blocky ledge, we went right traversing chicken heads till belaying at pine tree near descent gully.
