Access Issue: RAIN & WET ROCK
Details
Stoney Point sandstone 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 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 gyms in the area if you need a fix!
Description
A fun little route, the crux is near the middle. A good warm up though before starting on the 5.10's to the left. This route is the only crack on the wall, it's a few feet left of the tree that grows to the right of the wall.
Location
This area can be a little confusing for the first time, so bring a guide book there are a lot of boulders, brush, & slot canyons. But park on the road near the north end of the formation and follow the obvious climbers/partiers trail, it will fork stay to your right and head towards the rocks. Beethoven's wall is the last main area before turning the corner south. Once at the base there is quite a bit of room for belaying which is good because this is a popular area and can get a bit crowded, especially on weekends.
