Access Issue: 2023 Raptor Avoidance Areas! Limited Toilet Facilities! Details
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

Description

The Optimator Wall is in Indian Creek (as you may know) and is between the 4x4 wall and the Bridger Jacks.

Getting There

Get There: take the 2 track road towards the "jacks" but fork left towards a south facing black wall.

As of Oct 2021, the road requires standard high clearance (Subaru's) and some thought when driving the initial 0.5 miles of the road. Prolly don't need AWD/4WD/4X4 if you skillfully navigate. Regardless, have to navigate a bit skillfully to not scrape bottom. Still pretty easy to access.
