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.

Morphology Suggest change

The difficult route up the west face of Tucupit. Begin with the Dimorph pitches (both bold 5.12), then climb to and through the Red Morph (5.11). Pitch 5, the Geomorph, is the crux with a three bolt 5.12+ sequence. Finish with the last pitch of Tucupit nova / occidentalis.

Location Suggest change

West Face of Tucupit.

Protection Suggest change

Double rack 00 to hands, singles wide hands to #5. Stoppers, emphasis on small, RPs are crucial. Two 60 m ropes.
