Access Issue: RAIN & WET ROCK Details

Stoney Point sandstone 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 (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many gyms in the area if you need a fix!

Description

The crux is the lower portion. Fry rates it 5.5, but it seems harder than that to me (broken holds?). Fun route with sidepulls.

Location

Rightmost route on the North face before rounding into the U shaped corner / end. Goes straight up the sidepulls to the highest point on Boulder 1. Downclimb the east face to get down.
