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 sitting with your right hand on a low blocky sloper/sidepull and your left on a sidepull/edge in a seam. Pull off the ground and bump your right hand up to a crimp. Then figure out a way to deadpoint to the small crimp in the face (basically the only hold). Latch that hold and dyno to a good hold on the lip.
The top out is a little sandy and somewhat tricky.
This problem has outstanding movement and perfect rock (except for the last bit of the top out). Get on it!
