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
Seriously morpho, and a very unique climb for Joe’s. Begin sitting on a low jug all the way down and right on the main arete of the boulder. Work up the bad arete all the while sitting in a huge left toehook. Eventually the holds on the arete run out and using a horrible right foot smear, the toehook must be released as you jump for a distant jug higher on the arete. Either top out here, or continue up the arete until its apex, as the original line was done (V11 PG-13).
Counter Clockwork is unique to JV as it has almost no face holds, and is a sunny, skin friendly arete, although it is incredibly morpho. V10-12 depending on height, as the holds used to jump to the jug may be impossible to reach for anyone under 5’10.
