Access Issue: 1. RAIN & WET ROCK 2. DANGER OF EROSION
Details
1. Texas Canyon is conglomerate that 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, then do not climb.
2. The south end of the First Corridor is in danger of collapsing at the base of Sophie’s Choice. A dam of rocks and soil has been built to divert water away from the eroding soil underneath these huge boulders. Please help keep this system in place until a more permanent solution is implemented.

Description
Diesel is the left line of bolts. From a belay at a bolt and a fixed piton climb up and left on the steep knobby featured face on pockets and inclusions on the left side of the rounded buttress. Continue up the left line of bolts, staying right as you pass two large blocky cobbles and nice pockets as the wall steepens. There are two distinct cruxes. Climb past six bolts to the anchor.
