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 fun variation of Tigerlilly Right where you start in the dihedral and then bust left onto Tigerlilly Right, finishing on that boulder. Maybe saves you a couple of thin moves at the bottom of Tigerlilly Right.

My friend says that it is a little easier than straight up Tigerlilly Right, but I felt the difference in difficulty was subtle. Seems like the tricky thing is figuring out where to cut left, as you can easily end up with hands awkwardly crossed and on the wrong edges.

Location

On the Tigerlilly boulder, at Bridge Free camp site boulders. Look for the cool dihendral, charge up the corner for about ten feet, then cut left onto the gorgeous face and finish on Tigerlilly Right.

Protection

3 pads, probably

Went off the guidebook and climbed further up the dihedral and then went left at the top. Different finish than Tigerlily Right using a crimp below the top edge. Fun problem! Jun 14, 2020
