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
Climb the downhill face of the boulder, starting on the left-side of two light-colored streaks at an obvious jug, and trending up and right through some sharp crimps/slots.
Continue around the right of the arete to top out (V5), or stay left of the arete and top out straight up to spice things up a bit (V6, but have a spotter or you'll end up on top of Kill by Numbers if you blow the tricky and somewhat sandy mantle)
