Access Issue: Fragile Sandstone: Don't Climb Wet Rock Details

Kelly Canyon is a sandstone climbing area and the rock is very fragile when wet. Be aware of recent weather and ask a local if you are unsure of conditions. Do not climb for at least a day following rainfall. Do not climb on rock that is visibly moist or seeping.

Description

Far down the canyon from the Warm-Up Wall and The Corridor is a very nice-looking wall with just a few problems. All are fairly difficult and tend to be sandy from lack of traffic. The Lower Wall proper is on the right side of the canyon and begins with a beautifully featured blunt prow. Another wall across the canyon has a couple ok problems that often have water in the landing.

Getting There

Walk left from the Trailer Park, past the Warm-Up Wall and The Corridor. Pass many tall walls, then continue through a flat section of the canyon. A bit past this is the Lower Wall, on the right. About a 10 minute walk from the Trailer Park.
