Access Issue: Fragile Sandstone: Don't Climb Wet Rock
Details
Kelly Canyon is a sandstone climbing area and the rock is very fragile when wet. Be aware of recent weather and ask a local if you are unsure of conditions. Do not climb for at least a day following rainfall. Do not climb on rock that is visibly moist or seeping.
Description
Start at a sweet iron knob for the left hand and a small crimp for the right. Move past thin patina to a sloping pocket and a flat rail. From here, a couple big lockoffs gain the top of the wall. Consider brushing the topout in advance. Some of the most bullet rock in the canyon with fabulous movement all the way.
