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
I am tempted to rate this route 5.9, this may be the most sandbagged 5.8 in Leavenworth, but in keeping with the guide book it will be a good challenge for the 5.8 leader.
I don't always tape up, but this is better with tape gloves.

Location
After passing a very large roof along the Careno trail Glass Eye stands out as the nice looking vertical hand crack that arches up to the right.
Protection
gear to 4". You may want 2 each Camalot #.5, #2, #3.
there is a bolt for the bolted face climb One Eye that you can clip up near the top
The old bolted anchor is a 20' traverse to the right and is 1/4" rusty bolts and old webbing.
You could also continue up One Eye at the bolt to another bolt above the ledge, to hand crack through a roof to a new SS anchor ( 10b).
