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
Worthwhile route, well set up with modern anchors, can be climbed and descended with one 60m rope.
P1. 5.11a, Short, stout tight hands leads to easier climbing.
P2. 5.10c, Tricky bolted face leads to easier hand/ finger crack.
P3. 5.10b, Beautiful fingers and hands supplemented with plentiful face holds.
P4. 5.11a, More of the same, with short crux at the end protected by bristler.
Note either pitch 2&3 or 3&4 could easily be linked (recommended)
