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 Duty Dome Area is home to a number of significant crags, including Duty Dome, Warrior Wall, Fish Wall, Keen Acres, and Peekaboo Tower. These crags are located on the north side of Icicle Creek Canyon, and get lots of sun. The Duty Dome area is located between Givler's Dome and Icicle Buttress. Duty dome can be readily identified by the route Heart of Gold, an obvious white streak on the left side of the dome. Many of the bolted routes in the Duty Dome area are mixed lines that require some supplemental gear.
Getting There
Drive west up Icicle Creek ~6.3 miles. Park on the south side of the road and look for a trail heading up about 200 yards before the base of Icicle Buttress. A large boulder on the roadbank helps identify the start of the trail. The first crags are reached after ~15 minutes walk.
