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
Right off the trail with a cool looking start. It starts sitting on some opposing potato grips, typical for the area. There are multiple ways of doing this. Most commonly done as a low compression problem, or as a dynamic throw to the good left hand above. Once you stick the good holds, continue up on big jugs to an easy mantle. A lowball but, surprisingly, a pretty fun little problem!
Location
Wander up the hill past Proppa Dyno to Playmate. When you reach Playmate, turn R and start wandering along the cliff band. You'll pass Sam's Oliphant (tufa that looks like an elephants head and trunk) and then run directly intoTufa Land (low compression problem that looks like a tiny Playmate).
