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.

Description
Another well put together Baker Route, adventurous but never too far out there. All Free.
Walk around to the lookers right of the formation when viewed from parking at Las Sal Mountain Viewpoint. This route follows the obvious cleft on the East face directly below the tallest summit.
P1: Climb a chossy chimney to the large ledge on the bedding seam, this pitch can easly be combined with the next. 5.8 40'+/-
P2: Up the chinmey, passing some big loose blocks to a fixed belay deep in the chimney. This pitch would be easier if it wasen't so sandy 5.9. 70'+/-
P3: Make some exposed moves right to gain the great hand crack fire up 5.10 wide hands to a stance and a fixed angle then thrutch up the OW (5.10+) and through to the other side of the pillar 5.10+ 70'+/-
P4: Climb the chossy summit pitch no fixed anchors on the summit. 5.8 60+/-
We couldn't find anything to sling so we down lead the last pitch.
