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
The crux is more or less the first move. Either campus or smear your way to a decent jug out to the right. Match. Right hand up to a crimp out right and either match or go up big and left to a knob (try to grab on the left side of it). Cut feet, put them up on the jug (that you campused too) and then go right hand for the right side of the slot. Punch to the arete. Lots of people get intimidated by the top out so beware.
Used to be a tree here and well... the route is called Lumberjack.
