Warning 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 DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

AKA El Secondo in Bjornstad's Desert Rock III.

(editor's note - this route is technically in Arches National Park.  It is subject to bird closures in the spring and summer.  White chalk is also prohibited. As with every other route on earth, smacking white chalk handprints all over the wall is not cool, so knock it off...)

This route is on the north side of the River and quite visible from the main bridge leaving Moab. The right-facing dihedral is eye-candy for all climbers, and the anchor is visible without gettin out of your car. How can you resist? Pitch one;...Approach from the left;..mostly scrambling, bu there is an exposed step across and easy 5th class climbing to a bolted belay at the base of the dihedral. Pitch 2; Fingers and Hands (5.9) lead to a bolted belay and rap station. This climb is cool and fun and worthy; a fun adventure if you got an extra hour or two.

Location Suggest change

You can see it from the main bridge over the Colorado River as you leave Moab going North. It's on the N. Side of the Highway.

Protection Suggest change

Maybe a double rack of cams.
