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

This short problem can feel simple or impossible, depending on your finger size and crimp power. Pull on to a thin but positive right sidepull and a nasty left crimp around 7 feet up and power to good edges at the lip.

Location

Find this boulder by walking up the hill between the Boy Size and Golden Plates boulders. This problem is on the right side of the wall that faces the wash.

Protection

Spotter, pad to taste.

I could see this being v7 if you do it the way the guidebook describes, (deadpointing from the start to the lip) but there is a good right hand side pull that makes this problem much easier. The top out is easy, but scary due to terrible rock quality. Mar 9, 2015
