Access Issue: RAIN & WET ROCK Details

Stoney Point sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. 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 during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many gyms in the area if you need a fix!

Description

The south side of Stoney Point, left of the trail, has four obvious buttresses, this one is the 3rd from the left. It has an obvious roof at about half height.

South trail to below Spencer's Slab, take a ledge leftwards beneath the slab to the top of the buttress. Two-bolt top-rope anchor recently added (March 2021).
