Access Issue: Fragile Sandstone: Don't Climb Wet Rock Details

Kelly Canyon is a sandstone climbing area and the rock is very fragile when wet. Be aware of recent weather and ask a local if you are unsure of conditions. Do not climb for at least a day following rainfall. Do not climb on rock that is visibly moist or seeping.

Description

An inspiring line if you like crack! I led it with trad gear, but haven't been back to do it as a boulder problem. It's all there, solid rock, and nice jugs so ended up using less crack/OW technique than originally anticipated (either good or bad thing depending on your tastes). Angle mellows out about halfway up, making the top more mellow.

Wasn't sure if this has been climbed yet but if someone knows the proper name, please let me know.

Location

Not sure exactly where this is in relation to the "lower wall" but it is about 10 min from the corridor, keep heading down stream and where the riverbed breaks left, you can't miss this huge buttress on the right.
