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.
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. Indian Creek Raptor Closure walls include: Echos, The Wall, Far Side, Original Meat, Tenderloins, Second Meat, First Meat, Selfish, Six Star, Cliffs of Insanity, Public Service Wall, Disappointment Cliffs, Fin Wall, Broken Tooth, Cat Wall, Slug Wall, Reservoir Wall, Critic’s Choice.
Description
AKA Sisyphus Assister. This thing was placed here by aliens or gods...just doesn't seem physically possible to be split like that and still be in one piece. Nearly horizontal finger crack roof. Sit start using the finger jams below/before the first good pod. Bicycle feet'll help.
Location
About a half mile up the Jeep road. Walk past the Labyrinth until you reach a big gully/amphitheater feature. Descend.

Lowball....one pad and a friend to drag it
