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 beautiful line you cant help but put your hands all over. When I first saw this thing, I knew I would be spending some time with Sheniqua.
Friction, Compression, and some foot work are key. Start with your left hand on a sloping side pull and your right hand on the arete.
The low start (Going Down On Sheniqua) is a much harder.
Location
This problem is on the closest side of the 420 boulder as you walk up.
Look for the clean right hand arete.
Protection
Crash pads. Most people stack em.
