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
Stand start on the left facing flake just right of the small boulder at the base of the face. Move up and get the obvious pocket with the right hand. Make a big move with the left hand to the small finger slot below the lip. Get the lip with the right hand, and perform an awkward mantle to top out. An awesome problem!
Location
The route is on the overhanging east face of the Minute Man Boulder, facing the drainage and the road.
Protection
3 pads and a spotter.
