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 pockets under the bulge. A hard drive by move to a decent pocket over the lip with the right hand is the crux. After attaining the jug side pull, there is a very cool, big move to top out. Excellent problem!
Location
The route starts about 25 feet to the left of Baldwin Bash on pockets under the obvious bulge. To get there from the parking, head up the hillside on the obvious trail to the right. Pass the first boulder (Stir the Pie), and continue on for about a hundred yards to the low cliff band with Baldwin Bash and Lactation Station.
