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
Two south facing dome-like crags on the north side of Icicle Creek canyon. Givler's has the very popular Givler's Crack route that can be made out as a buffed white stripe from the road.
The approach trail begins near Alphabet Rock, on land that is privately owned. Please make sure to tread lightly and be respectful should you encounter the owners.
Getting There
The approach trail begins 6.0 miles up Icicle Creek canyon on the north side of the road. Despite hosting one of the more popular climbs in the canyon, the trail is indistinct and the local vegetation seems hell-bent on reclaiming it. Pay attention to your route finding, get a look at the dome from the road, and you should find yourself at the base in 30-45 minutes.
