Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek Details

WET ROCK: 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 MOAB during or after rain.

RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description

Pitch 1:

Aid up over a roof then follow the system to a ledge/alcove at about 40m. Traverse left about 10m passing two bolts to a giant cave with a two bolt chain anchor. 50m, 5.8 C1

Pitch 2:

Start in the back of the cave and chimney up and out 20’ to where three cracks come together. Take the easiest crack (perpendicular to the one you started on) to a bolt and then traverse 10’ on a foot ledge back out to where the three cracks join. Climb up using all three cracks pushing a #6. Squeeze through the top and clip a two bolt rap ring anchor. 30m, 5.10 or c1 5.8

Pitch 3:

Climb onto a ledge via a short easy chimney. Scramble up to the ledges high point, aid past two bolts to a mantle. Continue up on easy slab via the path of least resistance. Sling a rock mass for an anchor. 5.6 A0, 30m

Pitch 4:

Step across the void and climb up the chossy crack to the notch. Both of the main towers have been climbed but the left tower is taller and is where this route goes. From the notch clip the bolt and step right around the corner. A Choss crack leads up and right to two bolts. Easy slab to the summit and a three bolt anchor with tat. 30m, 5.9 c2

Descent:

Rap 60m summit to top of 2, then 30m to the top of 1, then 40m to ground.
