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
One of the best moderate problems at Joe's! Inexplicably not in the new, Caldiero Joe's Valley guide. Rated V5 in the Utah Bouldering guide. It may be a bit easier. Start matched on two pockets 5 feet up in the green streak. Climb straight up through edges, gastons and pockets to the lip. From one of two pockets near the lip, move up and right, reaching for holds over the lip with the right hand. The top out is not difficult if you find the holds. Tall.
Location
Antaeus is on the Stigma boulder. Hike uphill on the trail, left of the Hulk, past Dirty Harry until reaching the small cliff band. Go through this. To the right is the Sining boulder. Go up and left up the small trail for about a hundred yards to the Stigma boulder. Antaeus and All You Sinners are on the north side of this boulder. Antaeus starts matched on 2 pockets in the middle of the green streak a few feet right of the prominent dihedral.
