update falcon closures this year
Hi folks -
I found the following on MP. Does anyone know if any of the closed climbs have opened early? I am wondering about Freeway but I am sure others might be looking for similar info. If anyone has a live source for this information (e.g. a page on the BC Park site that I am unable to find) that would be super helpful.

Re: update falcon closures this year
Thanks smallman, trying to figure out which post you are talking about. Can you specify the name the post please?
I see "Falcon Closures - Angels Crest" but that doesn't cover it. Am I missing something?

Re: update falcon closures this year
That is the only closure so far.Well also the routes above angels crest accessed from Borderline (Highplains Drifter Area) . Usually only one nesting pair is present on the Chief. Over the last few years the falcons have been moving their nest sites around quite a bit and since we have an actual observation based closure versus the blanket closures seen in the US (ie. Trout Creek) the routes closed change yearly. The Angels Crest closure should be lifted when the fledglings leave the nest which will likely be by July 31st.
