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.

Getting There

Hike west from the north end of The Canyon. Just west of Corvus Chimney veer right and down a short slab and follow the slope downhill to the west. Continue down the slope and over boulders until level with the south end of the Panhandle. Contour right, parallel with the base of the Panhandle to near the north slope of the Panhandle. The boulders of Nude Beach appear ahead to the left. Follow the crude trail downhill and west to the base of largest boulder.
BEWARE OF THE POISON OAK THAT THRIVES IN THIS AREA!!!!!!!

Description
