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

A secluded cliff band weathered into bizarre Seussian formations. Several large boulders dot the area, with potential for more development.

Getting There

At the beginning of the approach for Thor's Hammer there is a faint game trail the branches off to the right (down canyon). Follow that up the hill for about 10 minutes until you reach the Big Spud boulder. The trail is easy to lose, but the I'm pretty sure the map location is accurate. Please tread lightly until better trails are formed.
