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

Sit start on the big flakes on the corner of the Footmare boulder. Follow the razor sharp flakes to an easy top out.

I'm a bit confused about this one. Is it really V0? If so, I either missed something big, or this route is sandbagged pretty bad. The SDS is super crunched on crappy--i.e. thin--feet. Elm Street was much, much easier than this one and it's graded harder. Sep 15, 2012

SDS seemed well hard to me. Harder than the grade for sure. Sep 16, 2014

Yabo is certainly boy-sized. Pretty scrunched and punchy V0 move for larger folk, or anyone for that matter. May 26, 2023
