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

A fun moderate climb, with a cool top out on canyon point butte.

Location

P1:From the Right facing crack climb up the short chimney to gain the top of the ledge and there will be a single bolt on the main butte. follow the cupped pockets to the first belay station. P2:Continue from belay station and head North on ridge line till you come to the base of two cracks.

P3:build a natural belay station and climb the Right crack to another set of anchors just above the crack to the left. From here continue up on easy fourth class to the summit.

Protection

The first pitch is protected by one bolt on a pocketed face, and the crack takes hand sized protection. there is fixed anchors on the first pitch and at the top of the third, but only one drilled in piton for the intermediate belay station at the start of pitch two. (piton has been removed)
