Access Issue: RAIN & WET ROCK Details

Stoney Point sandstone 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 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 gyms in the area if you need a fix!

Description

Sit start, straddling the arete to the right (east) of the Angel Wings traverse problem. Use slopers and whatever feet you can find to climb straight up the arete, topping out on the slab above.

This is listed in Urban Rock on the Angel Wings boulder as “SDS” and is given a grade of V6.

Location

Starts seated on the arete to the right of the Angel Wings traverse problem, on the northeast of the two Pile Ups boulders. This is well to the left of Quotations Marks and is not the face climb next to Quotation Marks. The sit start is mandatory.
