Warning Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures ***** RAIN AND WET ROCK ***** The sandstone in Zion 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 IN ZION during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

Description Suggest change

This is the major feature north of Timber Top and south of Beatty Point. The North face is easy to spot with a huge rock scar that resembles South America while a sub peak known as Nugget Mesa forms on its western flank.

Getting There Suggest change

Leave from the La Verkin Creek trailhead. After .9 miles of downhill, cut left off the main trail for the north face and Nugget Mesa.
