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

Large boulder up the hill from Nerf Wall. This wall holds the testpiece line Lonesome Animals; a contender for the best hard line in Joe’s. Other random or less popular lines surely exist on this boulder.

Getting There

Cross the river and hike up to Nerf Wall. From Nerf, hike around the left side of the boulder and follow a now steeper trail up the hill for 5-10 more minutes. Arrive at the bottom of the boulder, and Lonesome is on the upper left side of it, very obvious.
