Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek
Details
WET ROCK: 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 MOAB during or after rain.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description
This is a fun, moderate climb that requires varied techniques. Start on a ramp that is surprisingly hard for its low angle. Once it gets steeper you hit the crux--reach high and slot a nut first! Stem, face climb, and grovel to a stance, then follow the narrowing crack from wide hands to small hands. At the headwall it turns to fingers in a hollow block. Get a finger sized piece to start and then a hand sized piece on top of the block. From the block bust out on Mill Creek style jugs to a mantle (look for a hidden hold) and then walk around right to the anchors.
Remember: New Routes, especially ones in the desert, have loose rock, wear helmets!
