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
1.7 miles from fork in road, you will see a pull out on the left and an old mine cart next to a boulder. Most problems on this boulder face the river. About 200' up the road on the right is a trail leading to a few boulders on the hillside. The first boulder you encounter is a cave on the back side housing the problem "Kill by Numbers".
