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
Short, flaring crack easily seen as a lightning bolt shape from the approach to the area. From the base, climb easy terrain and make an awkward move into the crack. Once in the crack, and smear up to the anchors.
Location
Easily seen from the approach. On the right side of the lowest slab to the right of Baby Steps.
Protection
Cams to 1.5" are most useful. Few constrictions for passive pro.
