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

Port Royal was a haven for the Pirates and Buccaneers of the 17th century Spanish Main. This outcrop hosts steep pocketed and featured sport routes, albeit "crunchy" due to lack of traffic. While relatively short and thuggish to access Port Royal is an excellent summer destination or modern day haven from the hustle and crowds in the First Corridor, as it is shady most of the day, in a grassy glade.
