Warning Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures ***** RAIN AND WET ROCK ***** The sandstone in Zion is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN ZION during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

Description Suggest change

The crux is definitely passing the bolts and traversing to the crack. Beautiful jamming and liebacks follow until it is possible to face climb on solution pockets, protecting in the crack. Toward the top, hollowed out solution pockets may be tied off with runners to protect the final moves. Rappel the route.

Location Suggest change

The route is about 50 yds to the left of tail of the cock. It will be obvious with the 2 bolt start from the picture.

Protection Suggest change

2 blots to protect the start after that cams 2ea. #2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 Friends or similar. Lots of runners.
