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

If you’re looking for a short easy climb in a remote setting near Moab with outstanding views, Point 6,776 is a great choice. Do keep in mind that the approach is fairly “long” for such a short amount of actual technical rock climbing. Consider this peak more of an adventurous cardio scramble. There are two known established routes to the tippy-top. This can also be combined easily with Elvis's Hammer and the Rhino's Horn.

Getting There

There are no trails to the base of 6,776. Be a good desert steward and use slickrock and washes to avoid crypto en-route to the base. Park at a slight bend off the Sand Flats Road (38.5827, -109.3831) which is approx 9.4 miles from the Sand Flats entrance fee station ($5 per day). This parking spot is northeast of the peak. From the parking spot, hike south and then west to reach the north side of the peak. The peak can’t be seen for a majority of the approach and expect about a 30-45 min hike.
