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
An obvious, striking line on the namesake boulder. Locate a massive hueco (starting hold), pull into this (shorter climbers may need a pad stack or jump start), fire for the next good hueco that is not-so-close. An accurate, powerful deadpoint will get you there. From this hold, most people match, then bust out left with a left hand, then negotiate the tricky, but not too difficult topout. You may wish that someone came-by with a push-broom for the top, but this is doubtful.
