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
The first pitch of Nebula/lite.
A 60m journey up a gradually steepening, highly featured slab on perfect stone. This is a wonderful single pitch to start or finish your day on SCW.
Trust your rubber and teeter up the slab passing two distinct cruxes. Enter the "Frog Flake" and enjoy good jams and gear before you have to punch it to the bolt. Use a runner on the bolt and make some very fun moves out left to the next bolt, then up to some easy climbing to the anchor.
RAP: two ropes to rap the whole pitch. One 60m rope can get you down (climbers left) to a point where it is mellow scrambling down the standard scw descent.
**This pitch does seem to include a small part of some long forgotten pitch we aren't able to find any details of**
