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-

and under "Data Charts" click the "Precipitation" tab. Make sure the surface wetness is 0 before climbing.

Description
This is the easy traverse of the north face of the warm-up boulder. Use the variety of holds from ledges, to big slopers to an undercling, to travel the face. There's a pretty good footrail for the majority of the traverse as well. Recommend right to left, starting at the downclimb next to the small tree.
I enjoyed this a lot, and it can very much be enjoyed in it's own right.
