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.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description
Pitch 1- Climb up to a splitter crack in a shallow stem box. Continue up on sandy rock past some offwidth to a big block that is more solid then it first looks. Finish on the shoulder of Sand Hearse at a anchor. 5.11+ or 5.8 C1+ 100'
Pitch 2- From the anchor climb down and right onto the south face. Climb a crack to the top and a two bolt anchor. 5.8
Variation- There appears to be a way to aid to the summit as well, by climbing directly above the anchor.
Descent-Rappel 165' off the North face to the ground.
