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-

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

Description
The Hulk boulder is 3.9 miles up the Right Fork. Continue up the dirt road past the coal mine. The boulder is 25m uphill on the right.
All three problems here are quite good, but unfortunately there's not much else within walking distance other than The Proudest Line which is a massive highball. Maybe some intrepid explorers can turn something up.
