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
The route starts with harder moves through an overhang then easing to very fun 5.9 climbing on super cool pockets.
Location
About 200 yards in the canyon you'll see impressive pockets on the right hand wall.
Protection
8 bolts, chain anchor

Looks like someone took a ripper on the 3rd bolt. It's sticking out of the wall about 3/4". The rock quality overall is pretty soft, which made me wish it had a 3 bolt anchor like most other climbs in the Moab area, instead of 2.
The crux is at the very beginning. It can be stick clipped. After the 2nd bolt its pretty easy. Sandy and loose though. Helmets are good here.

Edit: Please do not sling the delicate features on this route, it is well protected by the existing bolts. May 17, 2022

Note - this was one of my first outdoor routes. It was a while ago and I was not in climbing shape or a good climber. This may affect my beta. Go have fun!! Aug 18, 2022
