Access Issue: Fragile Sandstone: Don't Climb Wet Rock
Details
Kelly Canyon is a sandstone climbing area and the rock is very fragile when wet. Be aware of recent weather and ask a local if you are unsure of conditions. Do not climb for at least a day following rainfall. Do not climb on rock that is visibly moist or seeping.
Description
Sustained flowing moves all the way, with a high crux and a sketchy topout. From a pocket and sidepull around chest height, trend up and right powerfully to a throw for the good right hand rail near the top of the wall. Push through the sloping mantel at the top, resisting the urge to grab the clods of grass. Excellent climbing, but a bit chossy. Repeated breakage has nudged up the difficulty a bit.
