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

This is one of the newer areas in the Right Fork. It contains just one boulder, but the short approach, fun climbs and lack of crowds make it worth visiting at least once. The main face is in shade most of the day making it an excellent choice on warm afternoons. The higher elevation also makes the temperatures a bit cooler up here.

If you do stop here, I recommend trying 'Spruce' and 'Pine', a pair of fun problems on good quality rock.

Getting There

From the start of the right fork, drive 5.3 miles and take a right turn up to a huge campground parking lot. Walk a short distance to the obvious boulder on a faint trail.

It's just under 1.5 miles from the Hulk area.
