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.

Access Issue: Poop Alert! Details

Recently there has been a rash of human poops along Wall Street. There are bathrooms in the campgrounds a half mile from popular crags here. Use them. Otherwise, portable toilet systems are required in Grand County. Be prepared to carry human waste out on the trail.

Fun variation, easier than it appears from the ground. Positive holds out to the crack and then easy up to the anchor.

As you pull right to the crack, you will need a purple or green camalot. Move up to a horizontal and plug in a #3 and cruise up the to anchor. Did this again on 10/8 and in my opinion is more enjoyable than the normal Flakes finish. May 8, 2008

Decent route. Worth doing especially if you have been up Flakes several times, slightly easier too. Rock quality is not the greatest towards the top but gear is good. Jan 30, 2009

Gotta side with Lynn on this one, I think this finish is more enjoyable than the "standard" one and its sandy smearing. Go do the original first, and then come back and enjoy this one time and time again. Feb 6, 2012

Upper holds are really sandy! There are also some pebbles to dislodge onto the climbers queued up at the base of Flakes. Tread carefully. Oct 24, 2013

Yup, better finish to Flakes. Super fun. Felt clean and well-protected. I think after moving right out of main Flakes crack I placed .75, 1 and then 2. Oct 8, 2024
