Access Issue: Fragile Sandstone: Don't Climb Wet Rock
Details
Kelly Canyon is a sandstone climbing area and the rock is very fragile when wet. Be aware of recent weather and ask a local if you are unsure of conditions. Do not climb for at least a day following rainfall. Do not climb on rock that is visibly moist or seeping.
Description
Fingery and technical. Begin with the good right hand "hole" at the bottom of the scoop. Climb out the scoop to a bad horizontal edge/pinch, then right through shallow seams. Stick the big horizontal and drop off or do the awful, dirty topout. Taller climbers will have a significant advantage.
Location
On the tall wall on the left side of the Trailer Park, this is the scoop left of the big roof and crack problem.
