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 at the Cat wall and Reservoir wall. They occur annually from March 31st until August 31st. *Due to the federal hiring freeze in agencies such as the BLM of Monticello, no official closure for 2017 has been issued and the laws which have been put in place in previous years are not being enforced. Please, for the sake of fragile desert ecology, DO NOT CLIMB at stated walls. These raptors return to the same nesting sites every year to raise their nestlings.

On 11/25/2017 there was a major rockfall event on Critical Mass. The rock was easily pulled off by a very light member of our party who was seconding the climb. It was about the size of a golf cart and fell from very near the chains. Fortunately there were no serious injuries but everything at the base of the climb was destroyed.
THERE IS ANOTHER BLOCK WAITING TO FALL which was being partially supported by the boulders which fell on us. If this block falls anyone belaying this climb, Ruby Flame or Uncut would be killed. Avoid this part of the cliff, at least until next season or until the remainder of the block is carefully cleaned! Dec 20, 2017
