Warning 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 DetailsDrop down

Description

The route starts in a flared number one crack, which fires to a splitter number two crack, ending about halfway up.  Pull through the wider section to a finger crack on the right and thin hands on the left.  This varied climb has fun movement on great rock and would get more stars if it were a bit longer.

Location

This route is found about 25 minutes up Day Canyon past Boognish tower.  As the canyon veers left and just before it forks into two canyons, the route is found on the northern wall just before the start of the northern canyon.  Reference pictures if need be.

Protection

A standard rack to #3 with an optional #4 placement.  Two bolt anchor up top.
