Access Issue: 1. RAIN & WET ROCK 2. DANGER OF EROSION Details

1. Texas Canyon is conglomerate that 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 during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp, then do not climb.

2. The south end of the First Corridor is in danger of collapsing at the base of Sophie’s Choice. A dam of rocks and soil has been built to divert water away from the eroding soil underneath these huge boulders. Please help keep this system in place until a more permanent solution is implemented.

Description

A steep and powerful sequence of moves lead past 6 bolts to where the angle eases. Continue up the face past a mid-anchor. Beyond he rings climb past another 7 bolts to the anchor.

Beware: a peregrine falcon or raptor appeared to be nesting around the 12th bolt. Oct. 23, 2021

Location

This route is at the bottom (north) end of the corridor, on the east (left as facing downhill) face of the Hatchery. This route is opposite Tethys. There is often a stack of cheater stones at the base.
