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
The easiest route here, but that's not saying much, a good route to work for those of us who are either too fat, or lousy at crimping (or both, like me).
The first two holds are good, but the next set are crimpy, then there's a final little rail with less than satisfactory crimps, and from there you have to make a powerful pull to reach the finishing hold, once you have this in hand, plan on some careful footwork to ensure success.
