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.

Description

A thuggy little climb with a puny name. Start on the arete making some scary moves to get to the high first bolt. Easier climbing along the arete gains a slab and a long runout to the second bolt where the angle of the rock kicks back to vert. A few moderate moves ensue, using the arete and edges on the face. The climbing gets harder at the 4th bolt with a cool arete slapping sequence. Clip the last bolt and manage the poor feet to climb to the anchor.
