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

These mostly north facing walls feature crack and face climbing on decent Mill Creekified curtis (?) sandstone.

Half sarcastically deemed the coldest cliff in North America, the walls do stay relatively cool and most routes never see the sun, even in the summer.

There's still room for development here too, if you're into that sort of thing.

Getting There

Dirt road off the La Sal Loop Road. If you don't have high clearance, park at the big pullout on the side of the road and walk in...20 minutes with very little elevation gain/loss. Location marker is on the low angle gully between the Iron Curtain and East Berlin crags. The bottom of the Iron Curtain wall can be accessed via this gully. East berlin is best accessed by rapping the routes, then exiting via some dirty 5.easy at the far east side of the wall. There's a fixed line...don't forget your chest ascender.
