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
Start standing with the left hand on a crimpy gaston and the right hand on a not so great undercling/sidepull. Place your right foot onto a very good, but very high, ledge. Pull off the ground and balance your way to the top using a few small crimps.
Really quite good!
Edit: I recently found out that the first ascentionist started with both hands matched on the crimpy gaston described above and then moved right to the undercling, continuing up from there. So, this should be considered the original/valid starting position.
