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
An excellent problem on great rock. A bit out of the way and hard to find, but worth the effort.
Stand start directly below the left end of a slanting, 3 foot long rail, on a side pull crimp. Move up to the bottom of the rail, then continue up and left through good pockets to the lip. Easy top out.

Location
This problem as well as Smoke One Later is on the Joint Ravine Boulder. From the Dairy Canyon car park, head up the ravine. After passing the turn off to Winder Dairy (Milkman, Milkstache, 2%), continue up the ravine on a faint trail that is on the right side of the ravine bottom, for about 10-15 minutes. The boulder is on the right, in the trees about 50 feet or so above the ravine bottom, and is easy to miss. It is directly above a big orange boulder in the ravine bottom. The problems are on the side that faces down canyon.
