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 Details

WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.

RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description

The Lost World Butte and the Tombstone have about 18 multipitch trad routes both aid and free.

Getting There

Located off Spring Canyon Point Rd, about 30 minutes drive from Moab. Drive 8.5 miles up Rt 313 (Island in the Sky Road) to a road on the right between mile markers 14 and 15. At 1.5 miles take a right on Dudblinky Well and Spring Canyon Bottom Road. Follow for about 6 miles to just before the windmill on the right, and take the road left and pass the Tombstone formation. Take the first right after the Tombstone, and then the second right to a parking area on a flat rock at the end of road, about a quarter mile from the Butte.
