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

Huge swath of the desert with lots of Wingate and other climbable sandstones, largely unexplored, undocumented, and undeveloped - for climbing that is, mining on the other hand...

While others might disagree, despite being in southeast Utah (south of I-70, east of the Green/Colorado rivers) this area, being 130+ driving miles from Moab is clearly not part of the "Moab Area." Also, while I'm at it, neither is anything south of the Abajos (Bluff, Texas/Arch Canyon, Bear's Ears, VOG), but that's a different argument.
