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

The Smile boulder is up on the hillside in right fork, past the mine, facing east, and is a nice hang in the afternoons and evenings. Great stone, good landings, and the boulder is stacked with 3 excellent V10's and a V9.

Getting There

Drive past the mine in right fork until you see a large pull-out on the right at a significant wash. There is also a wooden forest service sign at the pull-out. If you are looking up-canyon, the boulder will be on your left, and is barely visible from the road, well up on the hillside. Look for a cairn on top of a boulder that marks the beginning of an obvious trail. A short (around 5 minutes) but steep approach leads you to the boulder. You'll know you're at the right place since the boulder has a distinct "smiley" face jug on the right side.
