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
From Insightful Guide to Bouldering Joe's Valley, by Isaac Caldiero, "Sit start on sidepull jug, climb straight up on rails to a techy mantle." This boulder is about 20 feet in front of Bowling Ball on top of the short hill towards the road. The most obvious line is a sit start on opposing vertical rail jugs with a compression start. Move up the compression moves and find your way up and right towards the juggy shelf and topout. Quite a good boulder that doesn't have much information on it. Regardless, it seems that it still gets traffic!
