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 mostly slabby cliff but with a huge roof and 2 routes that go up either side of that roof.
Descent: either walk off to your right or you can rappel from a tree on top back to your belay and reverse the 4th class back down.
Getting There
Follow the path toward Bedrock noting the giant roof of the Monastery cliff above. After crossing the ravine head straight uphill toward that roof. The routes are approached from the right side of cliff. Two different 4th class approaches, marked by cairns, can reach a gear belay under the roof. Some people may want a belay for this 4th class approach.
