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
Awesome off-width crack on the opposite side of the Buoux Crack problem.
A little harder, but much shorter than the Buoux Crack.
The crack is flared on one side and provides some unique climbing that's not often seen in Joe's Valley.
Once you get started, you can fit your whole body inside and chicken wing your way up to the top. Gets easier closer to the top.
The rating is rather irrelevant, if you can climb crack, you'll zip up the problem. Otherwise it can easily serve you up a nice slice of humble pie.
