Access Issue: RAIN & WET ROCK
Details
Stoney Point sandstone 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 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 gyms in the area if you need a fix!
Description
A great problem which feels quite serious, as it's highball and a little grainy.
The crux is getting onto the arete, then start laying away on the left of the arete, using the occasional hold on the face as it appears. Eventually the angle falls back, big holds arrive and you can breathe a sign of relief.
Using the block on the right to start makes it V0.
