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
Off to see the Allah has some perfectly steep splitter hands as well as a sandy start and some large and spooky blocks up high that cannot be avoided. The whole wall at the top of the second pitch seems like it is only a couple feet thick but maybe that was just paranoia...
Location
The most obvious splitter on the west face of the rectory with a left-trending traverse mid-way (optional intermediate belay) and Metolius rappel hangers at the top. Between the Empirical Route and Ministry.
Protection
Double set to #3 camalot with extra hand-sized pieces. Anchors are at 90ft. and 200ft.
