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
Shadowboxing is marred only by a very contrived start on two low and sharp crimpers. Try hard to not dab and grab the jug flake then follow good holds to some crimpers over the lip. Give it some grrr to better holds left and above you to a long low-angle finish on cool featured rock. If the obvious start is followed (HUGE flake jug that is apparently off?) This could probably be V4/5 and really good. Given 3 of 3 stars and V7 in the PDF, lets not kid ourselves here...
