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 fun route climbs up good holds to an incut seam. A gaston/fingerlock move at the top leads you to a solid topout.
Start low, move up to the big pocket, then move up and right through the seam and up over the top.
The landing really isn't great and has been built up with a bunch of sticks and logs, so be sure to pad the area well and make sure your spotters are paying attention for the topout. A fall from up there could easily lead to a broken bone or two.
