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

To the right of "Skins Game," start on the flake and in-cut crimp with low feet. Work your way up the face using micro crimps until footing is good. The crux is two moves from the end, finding good feet and making a stab at a high right in-cut. Top out is solid.

On the FA, one of the crimps broke out under my foot and is now half as large as it was to start. This makes it quite a bit harder, but not ruined.

Location

On the "Black and Blue Boulder," directly to the right of "Skins Game." Look for the obvious flake and a shallow pocket crimp.

Start on the flake and pocket crimp. Reach right to an in-cut pocket and work up the micro crimps to the in-cut crimper on the right side. Find solid feet, and go to the flake... Top out using bomb…

I put this up about ten years ago and called it, "Get Some" and rated it V4. Spent a better part of the day cleaning it and making the landing not so steep. Dec 16, 2010
