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
A shady crag located across the river from Mad Meadows/Playground Point. The right side of dome has 5.6 - 5.10c slabs of high quality and the left side has steep and featured lines from 5.8 -5.11c.
Getting There
- I do not recommend crossing the river before the very end of September.*
Park a few hundred feet above Mad Meadows, then follow the climbers path downhill/upriver to a well marked river crossing.... Just keep in mind you have to come back this way... Follow the trail back downriver to Dog Dome. A key log crossing removes all bushwacking.
