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
Start standing with your right hand in a good hidden pocket at 6 feet and your left hand wherever. (You can start lower but it adds no difficulty.)
Climb the face using assorted pockets and slopers to a slopey and somewhat tricky top out.
This climb would be better if it didn't get so close to the problem to the right- 'Milkstache'.
