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

The crux is 15 feet up traversing up and right on the slippery slab.

Location

The steep black wall on great holds and pin scars about 15' left of Chimney on the middle of the wall. Ends with traversing up and right on the slippery slab.

Protection

This is a boulder problem with bad fall consiquences or try to build an anchor. It would be tricky to build a TR anchor for this one. Gear and anchor rope or 50' pieces of webbing, long runners.
