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 at the Cat wall and Reservoir wall. They occur annually from March 31st until August 31st. *Due to the federal hiring freeze in agencies such as the BLM of Monticello, no official closure for 2017 has been issued and the laws which have been put in place in previous years are not being enforced. Please, for the sake of fragile desert ecology, DO NOT CLIMB at stated walls. These raptors return to the same nesting sites every year to raise their nestlings.

Description [Edit]
Most people will probably start on the northwest corner of the north face on a flat jug, but the problem was originally done by starting on the west face, on the southwest corner as for High C. Traverse left, using the lower, worse holds. The holds are good, but the feet are not. Top out as you round the northeast corner. Here's a video that shows the location and the problem: vimeo.com/63126030
We had to move a ton of boulders at the base broke a few crispy edges, which implied to us it hadn't been done before (the footholds were inaccessible before)
