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 such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek
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.

Description
The site of an ancient meteor impact, the area has plenty of sandstone boulders that have the potential to be climbed. Most of it is choss but when you can find solid holds, the climbs are pretty awesome.
It can be sunny so wear your sunscreen.
Not many people check out the boulders and the park rangers didn't seem to mind that I was there so definitely a secluded spot.
