Access Issue: Fragile Sandstone: Don't Climb Wet Rock
Details
Kelly Canyon is a sandstone climbing area and the rock is very fragile when wet. Be aware of recent weather and ask a local if you are unsure of conditions. Do not climb for at least a day following rainfall. Do not climb on rock that is visibly moist or seeping.
Description
Start on the chunky jug on the left facing blunt arete. Move out and right to a good crimp jug using the arete for the left hand as needed. Continue up using decent holds to reach a horizontal rail (same rail as The Ringer). Top out by pulling left around the arete or going up and right over the lip. Stay right of the arete for a slightly harder but more satisfying finish.
