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
Another small area near the top of New Joe's is the Bone Garden. Most of the problems up here look less than ideal but Roll the Bones looks to be a pretty classic line once it cleans up.
Getting There
Locate the Cube Boulder and follow the trail uphill for a few hundred yards. The Bone Garden has two boulders the Jenny Boulder will be seen first and is "small with a golden south face." About 50 feet beyond the Jenny Boulder lies the Bone Garden Boulder with the Classic Roll the Bones.
