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
Like the arete to the left, this problem is a classic, even though it's short. Start both hands underclinging the left angling crack. Move left to a layback dish along the crack. From here, put together a beautiful sequence of laid back moves including delicate footwork on perfect features, a sloper, an edge, and a final lunge to a jug at the top of the block.
