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 high quality, moderate trad and/or top rope crag great for beginners. A top rope can be easily set up for all of the climbs. Walk climber’s right to access the top of the cliff where one can find all of the climbing anchors.

Getting There

At the start of the trailhead (same GPS coordinates as for Mountaineers Dome see MD page) find the sign that says “Trail Left” from this sign take the trail that goes more or less straight up until this area is right in front of you. The walk is 5 minutes or less from the highway. Park on the highway or at a pullout.
