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

The Grave Wall is an obscure crag just around the corner before reaching the Ice Cream Parlor. Perched above the Kane Creek road are two Tom Gilje routes: Grave and Unleashed; both follow crack systems but neither are your typical crack routes. Apparently the two routes originally shared a common anchor but currently Grave has an anchor twenty feet lower than Unleashed. This is a good warmer weather option as the wall faces north.

Getting There

Drive down Kane Creek road, about 100 yards after crossing Hunter Creek look up and left and you'll see the routes. Scramble up the terraces and do a short, easy 5th class section to gain a big ledge at the base of the routes. There's a set of anchors that make it easy to rap from the ledge down to the road so that you can avoid down scrambling.
