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
RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.
Description
Pitch 1-
Climb up unprotected slab for 150' to an anchor. There used to be a drilled pin on this pitch but it is no longer there, any pro you get on this pitch is mental pro only. (5.8 X)
Pitch 2-
Traverse left before climbing up and over a crux bulge and past 2 bolts to a belay. (5.9)
Pitch 3-
A few variations on this pitch.
Variation #1- I climbed around the left side of the hand and then climbed a chimney between the hand and the rim wall to the top. Rope drag was horrid.
Variation #2- Climb up between 2 of the rock fingers.
The last 10-15' were first climbed by Peter Gallagher by throwing a rope over the summit.
Descent-
Rappel the route with 2 double rope rappels. On the rappel marvel at how scared you were and how low angle the climb really is.
