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
This used to be one of the better medium-hard (V10) problems in Leavenworth 'back in the day' (around the turn of the millennium when bouldering development was still in somewhat of a nascent phase here). The problem was centered around a rather sharp flake and a move from it up left to a terrible sloping gaston rail. Now that the flake is gone it may be completely impossible. I wanted to add it here because it's an interesting piece of history and it provided some serious entertainment for a handful of us in the past. Apparently, the stand start from the rail is still occasionally done, but it's not quite as classy (or difficult) as the original.
Location
The route starts low at a juggy undercling/sidepull. It used to pull up left to a sharp flake, then into a sloping rail (crux) and to edges at the top. Without the sharp flake (which now lies at the base of the boulder), this problem will likely fade into history or be resurrected as a V-impossible if someone "finds" micro-edges they can pull on.
