Details
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
We call it cactus butt, because the guy who did the first ascent sat down on a cactus right before he got on...anyway a slick, techy route that starts sitting down with a long hanging traverse until you get over the ledge to top out. Rough sand stone, bring your A game or it will bring it to you. Follow the chalk marks. True to the rating.
Getting There
Drive passed the camp sites till you get to a clearing with a picnic table. Turn south west and head to the second ravine then follow it up to the boulders
