Warning Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures ***** RAIN AND WET ROCK ***** The sandstone in Zion 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 IN ZION 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 alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.

Description Suggest change

Rad sampler of local climbing.  4 pitches of slab, aid, cracks, towers, and sexy ledges make this a kick ass adventure. Register on top may need paper and a pen from this decade.

The route has been completely freed out to the left of the aid section.

This route is older than mountain project. Find trip reports and more info by searching for “Special Sauce” on rockclimbing.com  

Location Suggest change

200 yards left of Rooster Pinnacle locate a towerish feature with a flat top aka “Suzie’s”. Walk to the bottom (7-10 minutes) and find the bottom of the route on a slab.
