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

Karl Kelley declares this wall having "not much going on". He's right, but there's maybe a bit more going on than what is shown in Creek Freak.

Echoes is the wall located directly above the Wall/Suburbia parking area. It has the shortest approach of the 3 crags accessed from there, and gets early morning shade. Echoes is often closed each spring for falcons, though not usually listed in the closure by name as it's fairly obscure - reference the map instead.

It's possible to walk between Echoes and The Wall - in fact, the leftmost routes listed on the Wall (Big Papa Bear, Blue Jasmin) are certainly better approached via Echoes. The stretch between Blue Jasmin and the Wall is loose with no trail and generally a PITA to walk.

In Spring 2021, Echoes is clearly marked as closed on the BLM falcon closure map. Please respect this.

Getting There

Park as for The Wall and Suburbia - i.e., take a right directly across from Super Bowl if heading north, then take the first left, then a right. You'll park below an old uranium mine.

Please exercise prudence to follow the cairns and STAY ON THE PATH to approach Echoes. This trail is fairly new, and a great opportunity to make sure there won't be a braided network through the crypto a few years down the line. There are points where the path is faint, but never invisible - you may not be able to mindlessly march like a lot of Creek approaches, but with an abundance of cairns, footprints, and rocks lining the edges, it's not hard to follow.

Follow the old road up from the lot, past the mine, up onto a small bench. The path follows a small wash through some impressive crypto, before scrambling steeply up a short, loose talus slope. Once on top this, the path becomes more defined and pleasant before arriving at the wall directly below Cocaine Country Dancing, currently the leftmost route.
