Warning Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures ***** RAIN AND WET ROCK ***** The sandstone in Zion is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. 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 ZION during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

Description Suggest change

Nice route with lots of varied crack climbing. First pitch follows double hand cracks that lead up and into the bottom of a long chimney. Pitch two is an exciting chimney that varies in width from tight to wide stemming and some hand cracks around chockstones and ends at a ledge. Pitch three has two options from the ledge, left is a 5.8 OW and right was easy stemming. Both options lead up to easier terrain with lots of loose rock until you reach a final short crux to top the route. Rap the route and take care not to get your ropes stuck on the way down.

Location Suggest change

From the Weeping rock shuttle stop walk up the road a short distance till you are beneath the buttress that is home to this route on its left side. Follow trail up brushy slope till you can gain ledges that can be skirted over to the base.

Protection Suggest change

The start of the first pitch of Weeping Rock Chimney's, Left Side. Start in the corner and move into the chimney. Excellent finger and hand jams all the way up. A bolted anchor is on the right face of the chimney near a large chockstone (not visible in the picture).
