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

Sit start on horizontal rail and climb into the stand, just a few extra moves but makes the top more interesting

The Caldiero guide makes it clear that this is a sit start, but not on what holds you start on, and this is further complicated by the no-doubt non-trivial erosion over the years.

Anyways, I started matched on the lowest horizontal rail.

Also, this is 100% V8
