Please do not climb on wet rock, especially footholds. If a hold is wet, and you are unsure if it is fragile or not, go climb something dry. Caking a hold in chalk only dries the surface of the rock and does nothing to actually make a hold less friable.
If you use chalk on the rock, brush it off when you are done. If you use tick marks, brush them off when you are done. Wipe your feet off prior to each climbing attempt. Excess chalk and any dirt, leaves, or mud can polish holds over time. Do not drag your pad from one climb to the next (in order to minimize erosion). And most importantly, Leave No Trace. Pick up your trash and place it in the trash cans at the trail head.

Description
Sit start and sink some great hand jams up to the lip of the boulder, seems easy enough right? Get one last hand jam before the crack widens and reach way up right to some good pockets on the side of the crack. Jam a foot deep in the crack so if you fall it will be sure to hold and flip you upside down. As for your other foot, locate the best foothold outside of the crack to help you top out. This happens to be a nice sandy/mossy smear, fantastic. Put all of your trust in these feet as you use the pockets to struggle your way over the lip of the boulder to some sandy slopers.
