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

An adventurous outing of mostly 5.10 and under free climbing with a techy under-vert seam pitch (5.12 with C2 quality protection). Expect some bush encounters and be ready for a serious runout up mossy and fragile flakes on pitch 6.

Location

The continuous left facing corner system left of Cosmic Trauma and Spaceshot. Begin with the first three pitches of Equinox, and then head rightward up a arching flared seam. Descend per Spaceshot.
