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
A long, fun route.
Curtains and steps, for a long ways, all the way to the rim of the mesa above.
Rap from trees to get down.
Haven't seen this route form in many years. From the road, the whitish calcium staining is view-able showing where the route used to be. Water table must have dried up. Maybe it'll return some day?
