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. 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. Indian Creek Raptor Closure walls include: Echos, The Wall, Far Side, Original Meat, Tenderloins, Second Meat, First Meat, Selfish, Six Star, Cliffs of Insanity, Public Service Wall, Disappointment Cliffs, Fin Wall, Broken Tooth, Cat Wall, Slug Wall, Reservoir Wall, Critic’s Choice.

Description

Although it's on the shorter side, I'm gonna toss it out there that this may be one of the finest finger cracks in the Moab area. I was amazed to find it unclimbed. I attempted it once, on-sight from the ground, and was able to pull it off my 2nd try a few weeks later, also ground-up. For strong finger crack climbers it would certainly make a reasonable on-sight. I made a plaque, but left off the "+" just in case I was super-psyched and it turns out that others think it's easier.

Location

On the West Face, only about 100 yards away from the Tombstone. Look for the obvious splitter in the scoop.

Protection

I used, in order, .75, #4 in an obvious box, 000c3, 00c3, 0c3, green Alien, .3, 3 or 4 .4s in a row, another .3, and a red Alien. There is no anchor. There is an easy scramble to the top, from the left, which can be used to pre-set an anchor if you like. I lowered a loop once on top and hauled up an old #4, new #5, a 1 and a 2. Please do not add bolts for an anchor, and do not top-rope this route with the rope running over the edge. The rock is soft and won't tolerate much wear.
