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
High quality rock with high quality problems. A lot of this area is protected from the wind.
Getting There
next to zero approach, you can hit the nearest boulder with a rock even if you have a bad arm. Just park on the small pullouts before you reach riverside
[Hide Comment] I added a few routes to the area (Mama Worm boulder). I kept the ratings per the guide book. I felt all the routes I added were soft at the grade, as I normally don't boulder that hard. I was by myself and don't boulder that often, so consensus can sort it out.
[Hide Comment] We hiked up the steep hill with 4 guys and lots of pads, but no one wanted to try these problems because the landing is a rock, at best, and at worst, a 20 yard tumble.
