Warning 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 DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

Climb a crack up and right through some rotten sections of rock until it runs out.  What use to be nailing has turned into a #3 or #4 crack after blocks came out.  Clip a bolt and free out of your aiders 8' to the summit!

This apparently might go free at .12 or .12+ with the crux being up top.

Anchor bolts are ten feet east of the top out because the rock at the top out was hollow.

Location Suggest change

Finish Line is a fin located West of Red Rocket Tower. The route, 'If You Ain't First, You're Last' starts in the chimney between the rim wall and the tower. Scramble (easy 5th class in some spots) behind the tower from the west side to the highpoint of the rubble. The route starts on the high point of the rubble.

Protection Suggest change

2-3 x .2 to #2 camalot

1x #3 and #4

Stoppers

Anchor tat

One 70 meter rope. (a 60 meter might work)
