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
This problem starts on an obvious slopey mouth. Go left hand to a small pocket crimp then get a right heel on the start. Do a long move to a slopey crimp and bump again right hand to a bigger crimp. Top out straight up through some good holds. This problem feels harder if you cant use the pocket crimp.
Location
Its the last problem on the Lactation Station wall.
