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.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.
Access Issue: Portions of Reservoir Wall are on private land and should not be climbed.
Details
Important - Stay off the part of the wall that faces the road. If you are looking down at the water, then you shouldnÂ’t be there. Access is touchy. Yes, there are good climbs there, but no, you donÂ’t want to ruin access for everyone and there are just a few hundred other good climbs in the Creek.
Description
This cliff stays shaded for much of the day and is good during the late spring or early fall. Overall, route concentration here isnÂ’t quite as high as some other cliffs, but route quality is.
Important - Stay off the part of the wall that faces the road. If you are looking down at the water, then you shouldnÂ’t be there. Access is touchy. Yes, there are good climbs there, but no, you donÂ’t want to ruin access for everyone and there are just a few hundred other good climbs in the Creek.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: Please be aware of seasonal raptor closures at the Cat wall and Reservoir wall. They occur annually from March 31st until August 31st. *Due to the federal hiring freeze in agencies such as the BLM of Monticello, no official closure for 2017 has been issued and the laws which have been put in place in previous years are not being enforced. Please, for the sake of fragile desert ecology, DO NOT CLIMB at stated walls. These raptors return to the same nesting sites every year to raise their nestlings. These cracks aren't going anywhere, please respect the closure and spread the word.

Getting There
Go approximately 8 miles past Newspaper Rock. Pass the reservoir on your right. Just a bit further down the road and also on your right, across from the road for Beef Basin, is the parking for this wall. Pass through the gate and veer slightly right, eventually hitting a trail. There are 2 branches off this trail. The first one puts you closer to the road, near Pente and the further trail leads you to about where Excuse Station is.
