Access Issue: Don't climb on wet rock! Details

Attention:

Don't climb on wet rock! Sandstone is a porous rock type that can absorb a lot of water. It can lose up to 75% of its strength while wet, making it easy to snap off holds and irreparably damage classic climbs. Wait 48 to 72hrs after precipitation. If the ground is still damp then the rock is still wet. A great way to check for precipitation history before traveling to Joe's is to go to this site-

climate.usu.edu/mchd/dashbo…

and under "Data Charts" click the "Precipitation" tab. Make sure the surface wetness is 0 before climbing.

Description

New Joe's is a hillside/canyon a few miles away from the Left and Right forks with a whole bunch of quality boulders. Area 51 is the most accessible and most popular area, but there is a lot more up there just a short walk away. Be sure to scope out Nerve Damage and Pocket Rocket. Most of the more popular boulders have sign posts now along the trail.

There is now camping available by the vault toilets, just off of Route 57. It seems to show up on Google Maps as New Joe's Camping Area.

Getting There

Follow Route 29 out of Orangeville and take a right on Route 57 North. You'll know you are on the right path when you see a mile 11 marker, along with signs reading "road ends ahead" and "not a maintained road" (exact wording may be slightly different). The start of the trail to the bouldering area is directly right of a large sign that reads "Joes Valley Bouldering Area".

Caution: as the road is not well-maintained in this area, be careful to avoid the giant potholes that indicate the road is giving away. A landslide may be imminent.
