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
Climb small pockets, shallow scoops, and edges to the right of a large red inclusion. Move right on the ramp to a series of medium pockets that yield to a small horizontal shelf at mid-height. Once on the the shelf the wall bulges to slightly overhanging. Continue over the bulge on excellent, but spaced pockets to a large pocket on the right. From a stance in the pocket pull small 2-finger pockets and edges as the angle decreases. Finish the pitch on large pockets to the anchors.
