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. 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. Indian Creek Raptor Closure walls include: Echos, The Wall, Far Side, Original Meat, Tenderloins, Second Meat, First Meat, Selfish, Six Star, Cliffs of Insanity, Public Service Wall, Disappointment Cliffs, Fin Wall, Broken Tooth, Cat Wall, Slug Wall, Reservoir Wall, Critic’s Choice.

Description

King's hand is a great place to climb if you want to get away from the climbers on wall street, and are looking for scary, sandy, loose, runout slab. Two routes exist on this formation that I know of, a left and right variation. Both share the first pitch and a little at the end.

I have heard stories from a friend that when they climbed it, he pulled a refrigerator door sized rock off, just after pulling a microwave sized rock off. (don't you love how it all relates to kitchen appliances)

Getting There

To get to King's Hand, park at the Jaycee campground. Kings hand is located on a bench of rock above the campground. Hike climbers left from the campground until you can scramble onto the bench, then hike back right. 10-15 min.
