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
Remnants of a Party Follows a prominent left-facing corner system for four pitches. Start by climbing ta right-facing flake and a straight in crack that gradually shrinks. Anchor for the first pitch are visible fro the ground.
P1- 5.10 weird but good accepts good gear. Crux is a little tricky had to place nuts and move up on suspect gear. offsets would have worked well here. 2 bolt anchor with
P2- 5.9 great pitch. Nice hands the whole way. pitch has BD 1,2,3 and 4 placements. 2 bolt anchor
P3- absolutely amazing if you like off width and squeezes. pull a small roof into the squeeze, move up and place 5 or 6 high, pull a small roof into fists, and move on fist and biceps for friction to the anchor. 2 bolt anchor spread wide w/rap rings (weird)
P4- mixed reviews! i thought it was exciting and adventurous climbing. flared chimney with good gear in back, climb into a stem, move your way up to a roof with good holds, good feet and great placements. pull roof to the anchors. 2 bolt anchor not equalized (we added webbing for equalization.)
