Access Issue: Sheep Aware Details

Long canyon serves as important habitat for Utah's only endemic herd of Desert Bighorn Sheep. Please be respectful of wild sheep and other wildlife by maintaining a quiet atmosphere and keeping at least 100 meters from animals. Desert Bighorn Sheep are especially sensitive to disturbance between April 1st - June 15th when they are raising their young. Consider limiting your disturbance during this time period by climbing in other areas. You may notice water catchment systems in strategic locations to provide water for wildlife in Long canyon. One of these exists near the trail to Maverick Buttress.

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

This is the sunny wall across the way from the Maverick Buttress. Great winter crag with lots of sandy classics, although not as concentrated as Maverick.

Should be noted that there are 2 walls up here left and right and there is definitely a small but noticeable (esp if you aren’t expecting it) hike between the two walls. A majority of the routes (starting with Triceratops) are on the right half of the area (see photo for reference from the parking area).

Getting There

Take Potash Rd. to the Jug Handle Arch pullout that accesses Long's Canyon and drive a ways. Park at the first of the switchbacks just before reaching Maverick Buttress near two gullys. Hike up the right hand gully, continue up the gulley to access the left half of the area (Seventh Serpent). Exit the gully earlier to gain the flat bench to the right and follow this bench towards Triceratops and the right half of the wall. (Most of the routes are on the right end of the wall.) There is lots of beautiful petrified wood in the area.
