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
Start out by scrambling up the dihedral to gain the base of the finger to thin hand crack. Jamb this to the top. The crux section is in the first 15 feet of the crack, above that it is 5.7.
Location
The obvious right leaning slabby handcrack on the right (north) side of the formation.
Protection
2 each cams from finger sized to a #2 camalot
50 meter rope
