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 squatting with the lowest left-hand heuco and the lowest right hand sloper on the arete. Bump up to another hueco and up the arete, do some foot trickery, then do the "span moves" to make it to the jug. Then you have a nice V5 on crimps and slopers to the finish.
Note: I broke a good foothold 5/5/2022, so the crux move is harder now, but it doesn't change the grade, but I could see it being harder if you're short.
Location
This starts at the low left hand hueco and a right hand on the lowest part of the arete.
