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

Get ready to loose some skin. Fingernails start in a layback corner leads to strong moves between solid finger locks. As the name implies this route is short and tipsy.

Location

Left most side of critics choice wall.

Protection

Really fun route. If you're mostly a sport climber/ boulderer, this is great one to hop on in the creak. Strong fingers will make the first couple tips layback moves feel easier, then the the podded fingerlocks feel like a short boulder problem. Really fun but probably much softer than 12+ Oct 21, 2022
