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

Hubba Hubba is a good beginner ice climbing location and stays in shape late in season because of it's north-eastern orientation. It's about a 1000 feet up from the Icicle Creek road and easily visible from the road, making it easier to judge the conditions of the route. There are 3 distinct flows of the fall. The fattest one at center, and then one on the left and one to the right of it. Left one is WI2+ and a good for beginner leads. Left and center are two-pitch routes, and the right one is single-pitch.

Getting There

Park on Icicle road at the Bridge Creek Campground Junction (this is where the road ends in winter). Take the dirt road, cross the bridge, and you should see a gate on the right. Cross the gate, and proceed for about 100 feet and then head uphill (left) towards the fall. The second half of the path is a 30-45 degree slope and thus is prone to frequent avalanches.
