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
Climb the obvious steep arete of the Fridge boulder, using slopers, pinches and body tension. Finishes with a really fun toss to a knob and a rockover up high.
Location
It is the obvious, overhanging arete on the NW side of the boulder.
Protection
2 pads are nice. The throw to the knob is a little heady, but the landing is fine.

Always a good time. And for anyone asking why it's "contrived"
