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
This is a cool climb, in a beautiful place. This is also a 5.12 free climb ( The late Earl Wiggins, Katy Cassidy, Peter Gallagher, Feb., 1988.) This climb follows a singular crack system to the top; an obvious right facing crack system. The first pitch is fingers (aid for us) ,and the 2nd pitch is O Wth (5.11...aid for us). I don't think there is a very good stance between pitches....maybe a hanging belay? The wide section is quite long.
