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

Sit start on flake, reach over to the rail, get a heel hook and mantle, then grab the top and mantle again.

Location

Wow, never thought I'd see this boulder up on MP!
Do you know when the FA was done?

I remember having a short session at these boulders approx 2 years ago and never saw chalk on them. (I just assumed boulders out in the open had all been climbed by someone already)

That "wave" boulder was super fun! May 11, 2015

I did not see any chalk so I was hoping that we got the FA on the wave boulder, guess it could have been you though! Super fun problem though, I hope some more people check it out. There is also a bunch up stuff that look's untouched up the canyon behind the boulders. Me and some friends are planning on cleaning them and building some landings then adding the spot on here .
