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
Same start as Phony Baloney, but move right staying below the ledge. Get to side pull(crack) and mantle. Very long and powerfull, but a must try.
*Note: according to the caldiero guidebook the V7 starts at the undercling, then left hand to the sloper and right to the gaston. Phoney Baloney starts with both hands matched on the sloper.
