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
There are a couple boulders in this area, including a big one with a cave-like feature and a bunch of problems from easy up to V6, with one V10 thrown in. It is located directly off the road, most of the landings are great, and one arrives here before most other areas in Right Fork, making the name appropriate. Better Than Coffee and 3 Weeks especially are awesome problems that are worth the visit.
