Access Issue: RAIN & WET ROCK
Details
Stoney Point sandstone 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 (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many gyms in the area if you need a fix!
Description
Balance-y warmup or intro problem for the outdoor bouldering beginner. Short problem without much risk and a relatively safe landing.
Start with your feet on thin edges and hands on two of the many decent hand-holds. Work your feet up gradually and set up for the crux: standing up and grabbing the excellent rail near the top of the problem. From there the finish is more of the same.
Location
The north side of Pile Ups, roughly the center of the boulder.
Protection
Pad and spotter for the new climber. None required for the intermediate to advanced boulderer.
