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
Hot dang! Straight-in hands to fists classic splitter/ flake to the first anchors at 60'; crumbling, thin, bouldery, and scary past two bolts to the second at 80'. Bottom set of anchors after the splitter (which most will likely do) makes it .10+ or so, heading to the second set puts it in the full-value .11+ range. It appears many holds have broken (or will soon do so) on the early boulder problem of this second "pitch", and it may be far harder than it once was. I for one felt this section to be waaaaay harder than the suggested .11- unless I was truly missing something. Worth doing purely for the splitter.
Historical note: Original route did go to the second set. If you wanna keep it OG, fire it up.
