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
A not terribly noteworthy, but still worthwhile, v1 on the little extra boulder attached to the main Warm Up boulder.
Location
Isaac's guide provides a nice photo for finding this, but I'll do my best. Once you've found the main Warm Up boulder, walk around to the left, past Dem Bones and Sling Blade. You'll find another sizable (maybe 12-15') and separate boulder. Eye Patch is on the backside of this, up the face without any very large holds. To the left of it is a crappy v4, and to the right, just around the corner lay two nice climbs using a big flakey thing and starting on a ramp.
