Access Issue: 1. RAIN & WET ROCK 2. DANGER OF EROSION
Details
1. Texas Canyon is conglomerate that 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, then do not climb.
2. The south end of the First Corridor is in danger of collapsing at the base of Sophie’s Choice. A dam of rocks and soil has been built to divert water away from the eroding soil underneath these huge boulders. Please help keep this system in place until a more permanent solution is implemented.
Description
The Diner is a small outlaying dome and collection of faces/slabs located NW of the First Corridor.
Getting There
When approaching Texas Canyon from the parking area, hike north (right) around The Chicken/Hyperion Slab and continue west beyond the north entrance to The Canyon. The Diner is the small dome to the right once you reach Corvus Crack.
