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

Varied, sustained climbing in a left-facing corner. Fingers to OW with a few sandy face features to ease it up a little.  This packs in a ton of good climbing, but is unfortunately marred by significant sand (like all the routes here it seems) AND a lack of fixed anchors. An anchor on the left wall at the top would really make the route safer and better, as the current topout is a horrible, sandy mantle onto a pile of loose rocks.

Location Suggest change

The obvious, long (for the wall) LF corner down from the chimney, right to the left of the "Please don't climb in the overhang" sign. This isn't an overhang so I suppose it's still OK? Some clarification would be welcome.

You can easily walk around and put an anchor on a tree at the top, but make sure nobody is at the base of the cliff as there is an armada of loose grenades up there.

Protection Suggest change
