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
Start with a left hand blocky crimp and right hand on a large slopey/juggy pinch low down in the vertical crack. Continue up the arete with hard compression moves and top out on a somewhat tricky mantle.
The FA called this climb v12; it was super cold the day they did it so this overgrade was likely somewhat influenced by that. V9 has been suggested but this feels harder than every 9 in Joe's that I've tried. Edit: It appears there are over 15 ascents registered at V10 on 8a and only a couple at V9. The grade on Mtn project doesn't represent current consensus from what I can tell.
Also of note; Michael Sabatini/Sabo spent days smashing the choss rock out of the way that formerly blocked the middle of the problem; you the man!
