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 Bridge Boulders are two boulders a short distance from the road in New Joe's. Babe's Boulder is very featured for Joe's Valley and offers some rare, easy bouldering. The other boulder has some fun problems and great rock.
Getting There
Pull off of the right hand side of the road to New Joe's at about .5 miles from the locked gate that was once the approach to New Joe's. A cairn marks a short trail toward the river gully. The boulders are hidden from the road by trees but very close. An old decaying bridge spans the gully between the two boulders.
