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
Begin about 150' left of the first pitch of The Road Not Taken, directly below the obvious left facing system with the large-ish roof.
Pitch One: (5.9, 60') Climb face with intermittent pro to large ledge below overhang.
Pitch Two: (5.10 b, 90') The FA party climbed off the ledge with a shoulder stand (the only aid on the route); then follow system up to a good hand crack, undercling left, and follow the Wafer Flake to a good ledge below large roof.
Pitch Three: (Crux, 70') Hand traverse left beneath large roof, rock around corner, and grunt through strenuous offwidth to large ledge with bolt anchor atop pitch 3 of The Road Not Taken.
Rappel, or follow T.R.N.T to summit.
