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

One of the biggest baddest offwidths around! This beefy 9" crack splits a roof just off of the Angels Landing hike. Caution: the cave is an amplitheatre and will project your vocalizations very loudly towards the poor folks hiking Angels Landing.

Location Suggest change

This is in the big cave on the south side of Angels Landing. Hike along the Virgin river north, then turn up the wash in Refrigerator Canyon for a few hundred feet. It's an easy scramble up to Gabriel from here.

Protection Suggest change

1X#6 Camelot and 4X 9" Cams (Valley Giant 9, Merlin 8 or BD 7) is plenty. This roof was bolted a good while ago and several have been pulled and patched. Three bolts remain low on the route but are unnecessary. Bolted anchor on top.
