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
"Unknown Sister" is the name Desert Rock III gives to this slender tower, the most distinctive on the ridge north of Sister Superior. Although Bjornstad's guide credits the first ascent to "Harvey T. Carter, 1960s," this route and probably the tower were first climbed by Larry Hamilton and Tom Ruwitch in April, 1972. Seehttp://pubpages.unh.edu/~lch/climb_33.htmfor a few photos from their ascent.
The route ascends an obvious splitter crack that widens from thin to five inches, on the west side of the tower. One bolt gains the base of the crack. Aid the crack until free climbing feels right. Bolt anchors, possibly old ones, should be found on the thin summit.
