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.

Description
Reach the notch between the Whiskey Bottle and the Indian via 1. a hand to ow crack (looks 5.10-ish) on the south side; 2. a scramble from the north side; or 3. rap from the top of the Indian. The south side crack looks best, and will be the only quality climbing you'll do (see below).
Creatively build an anchor on the notch, step out on the south face, and climb a mostly thin crack to a ledge below the summit block. The rock in this whole section is BAD, and there are 5.10 moves with pro in sandy cracks. Might be partly aidable. From the ledge, clip a bolt, then do a couple 5.11 moves to better holds and the top - OR, stick clip the anchor first for a TR (which we did).
