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
Start with your feet on the huge shelf under the roof and your hands on the crimp rail and/or pocket. Move through a sharp, bunchy, and dynamic crux to jugs for the topout. Be super careful of the last jug on the top of the boulder, it's very fragile. I recommend a beached whale or maybe a left exit. You must avoid pulling much at all on this hold.
Location
The first boulder uphill and to the right of Team Effort. Very striking boulder.
Protection
Pads, fragile rock skills.
