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 NHRA is a burly OW roof similar to New World Order in style and difficulty. Its a bit longer than NWO, and the crux lies in the middle of the roof, where the crack flares.
Start as far back into the cave as you want to go (another 15' could be added on to what i did, but its gets pretty cramped in the cave) and work your way around the high-ish lip.
The lip is about 15' off the deck, and the landing is a little wierd. If you have a few crash pads, it would be fine to boulder, but if your single pad is smaller than a laptop (like mine was) you can bring a single #5 camalot(new) to protect the lip moves. The route has yet to be bouldered.

Location
Go to the end of the paved road, where the Confluence overlook trail starts. follow the trail for about ten minutes, until you have to climb a short ladder. about two minutes past the ladder, look left for a carin in a small dried stream-bed. Follow this stream-bed towards the obvious mushroom formation (see photo). the NHRA is on the right side of the formation.
