Access Issue: Limited Toilet Facilities!
Details
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.
Tired of the crowds at Indian Creek? Then march your way up the quadruple-sized talus cone to Suburbia! Left again from The Wall, Suburbia (AKA A Long Way From Suburbia) is OUT THERE!
Just hiked the cliff. Not too many "Holy shit, look at that!" type routes accept for Killer, a long 5.12 splitter/offset. Bloom's new edition catalogs everything that I saw pretty well.
Probably 5 or 6 obvious routes left to do. The newer routes all have steel anchors. It would be nice to continue that trend.
I approached via the NW edge of the talus but this is not recommended.
From the parking area of
The Wall, walk back down the road towards highway 211 for approximately 100 yards, then leave road hiking towards the
Suburbia Wall, aiming for the very left side edge.
Cross a series of smaller shallow vegetated washes (looking for cairns) until a much larger and deeper wash becomes visible.
Head into the deep wash when convenient, cross when possible, then continue along the wash's other side hopefully seeing some cairns and mostly now heading towards the large forming arch far right of Suburbia Wall.
Continue as remnants of old mining road become more apparent.
Follow the zigzagging mining road until cairns lead away from the road and up to the base of the crag near where Bloom says Honey Pot is supposed to be. The pillar that
Unknown 5.10 (route 13 in Bloom's book) is behind is also a good landmark.

That said, this badly needs a better approach trail. Once you're 15 minutes in you find the well cairned trail, but until then you're bush whacking cross country and it sucks as there are shitty pricker tumbleweeds every 5 feet. It feels super wrong since so much of the area's ethic is to not create a new trail and use existing trails, so I was very confused on why this has continued to have a "just head towards the crag" approach.
