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

A nice small crag with a few 5.11s. The aspect is similar to Trick or Treat's left side and the wall receives morning sun and afternoon shade. This crag also has quite a few native ruin sites and petroglyphs so please be respectful

Getting There

While entering the Creek, the pullout is on the right side of Highway 211 and about a half mile before the Trick or Treat parking. Cross the highway and aim for the middle of the wall, As of Spring 2023, there was no established trail across the pasture and no dedicated creek crossing. At the base of the talus, to the right of a broad wash, we found cairns and a (very) faint trail leading up to the wall. The trail brings you close to the start of Hong's "Chalk Garden"
