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

The rock is pretty lovely. There was no one else trying to climb it the two times we went. There are two pull offs to either side of the boulder. It is nice and shady in the early morning and the late afternoon (after 5pm in the summer). There are also two bolts at the top of the boulder which could be used for top roping, but the rope drag would be bad on the edge of the boulder.
