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

Starting on crisp thumb stacks; follow the arching, clean, left facing corner past great stems through the hand sizes. Get stoked at the bulge clipping a protection bolt before committing to the bust a move crux. Slip in some thin gear to fingers as you make your way back to the rim. A layer of lightly calcified material has flowed over this route helping preserve the clean edges and making the sandstone more solid than in other places. 

Location

Park off the 313 road just past mm 17 at an old two track. Follow down to the Rocky Top mnt bike trail near some bleached cow bones. Look around the amphitheater and find the only obvious splitter. Rap in approximately 75’ to the base. 

Protection

Single set of cams from less than tips to hands. Extra hand sizes, a few nuts, and plenty of slings to prevent rope drag.
