Access Issue: RAIN & WET ROCK
Details
Stoney Point sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many gyms in the area if you need a fix!
Description
Dyno off the side pull underclings, slap the sloper, and grab the jug. Worth doing every time.
Protection
Crashpad and spot.

Edit: It's V5 with the 2 handed dyno or V3 with the left slap sloper. One is called Vaino's Dyno and the other is called leaping lizards. At least that's what my sources tell me. Dec 11, 2007

Also to the best of my knowledge Leaping Lizards avoids the sloping ledge of Vaino's. Feb 9, 2008

Note - someone commented that skipping the big sloper like this is harder than V3 (V5?). So if using for beta FYI. It was hard for the grade imo but not the grade range I’m best at judging. Aug 16, 2019
Agree with others that this is more V1/V2 for the area, but it's definitely height/reach dependent. Aug 24, 2020
