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
This is one of the finest traverses in Flagstaff. Start sitting at a big pinch and make a few powerful pulls out the short roof. Head right using many slopers and poor footholds to reach good pockets about halfway across the wall. Easier moves on deep pockets end at a jug just left of the tree. Match this hold and call it good. Topping out is possible but feels forced and needlessly destructive.
