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
Start as for Aesthetics, climb the crack until you reach the horizontal crack splitting the wall and traverse across the face. The crux is transitioning from the crack to the face with some in your face crimping until the top.
A king line in MC. Much better climbing than Aesthetics. Originally rated 13c but the crux gaston has broke and gotten smaller - most people say 13d now. If you're tall enough to use the foot ledge at the end of the traverse you'll be thankful.
Protection
Bolts, though it's been done on gear. Long slings and skipping bolts essential for rope drag
