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-

and under "Data Charts" click the "Precipitation" tab. Make sure the surface wetness is 0 before climbing.

Description
The boulders namesake crack. This is a stellar crack climb that is perfect for beginners, boulderers that want to give that crazy crack climbing a try, and crusty old guys alike. Tons of fun, you can run laps on this all day and not get bored. Has good feet options for the first half, if you don't feel like jamming your feet in the crack as well.
The hardest part is definitely at the top. It's fairly tall, so bring a pad and possibly a spotter.
