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. 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. Indian Creek Raptor Closure walls include: Echos, The Wall, Far Side, Original Meat, Tenderloins, Second Meat, First Meat, Selfish, Six Star, Cliffs of Insanity, Public Service Wall, Disappointment Cliffs, Fin Wall, Broken Tooth, Cat Wall, Slug Wall, Reservoir Wall, Critic’s Choice.

Description

The Dinosaur Junction Cliffs are made up of 3 clusters of rocks that run essentially NW to SE. Not sure if this area has a name or not, we definitely aren’t the first to climb there. Lots of cool features up there. Fun exploring and scrambling even if you aren’t climbing. Let me know if you have other names for stuff and I’ll change it.

Getting There

These are routes on the buttes/towers/walls on the SW side of junction 191 and 313. We’ve been accessing via a dirt road that goes by a corral 1.4 miles west of the junction on 313. You could also access via the Gemini Bridges road about 1.2 miles south of the junction on 191. Getting through the lower cliff bands on the approach can be challenging or at least requires some route finding.
