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
Generally 10 degrees cooler than climbs in the valley of left fork with afternoon shade. Comes with a great view and great landings. Rock quality is impeccable.
Getting There
Follow the road down right fork several miles and continue up a dirt road on the left after well established campsite on the left side of the road. Park anywhere in the clearing and follow the trail that starts up the hill.
This area is distinguished by the bulging pocketed face that sits upon a hill. Looks more like a cliff band than boulders.
