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.
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.
