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
In my mind, there are the absolutely world-class, ‘Big 6’ V13s of Joe’s Valley. Masterpiece, Last Great One, Blackout, Mask of God, Black Lung, and Slasher. I think Slasher may be the most difficult and most quality, depending on who you ask. It certainly has the most famous sequence and the hardest moves.
Pull on from a positive hold with horrid feet. Move to the ‘slasher’ hold; possibly the areas most famous. Make a heinous span to a nice sidepull, then execute the final dyno to the lip.
Three moves of insane difficulty. A true finger testpiece. Maybe not as famous as Black Lung, but certainly more pure.
