Access Issue: RAIN & WET ROCK
Details
Stoney Point sandstone is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many gyms in the area if you need a fix!
Description
This problem is basically a sit start to Vaino Problem. Start down and left over the pit with big feet and some underclings. Move out to a greasy sidepull and then up to a handful of bad slopers. From here, figure out some techy foot trickery to get yourself over to the sloper from Vaino Problem and then finish as for that problem.
Location
In the cove with Johnson Arete & Vaino Problem. On the same boulder as Vaino, but starts down and to the left.
Protection
The crux move can be a little sketchy and upside down depending on how you do it so maybe 2 pads and a good spotter to boost the confidence.
