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-

and under "Data Charts" click the "Precipitation" tab. Make sure the surface wetness is 0 before climbing.
Description
The Perimeter, aka: The Death Scream, aka: Cabin Fever Area is a cluster of boulders sitting on a sandstone shelf. It has gone uncharted for many years. This is probably because of complications by the coal mine located below it. The coal mine has since closed.
The crag has seen unreported waves of development over the years. Aside from this website, no one has made any details public. There are many fine looking lines not listed here. Some of them have been climbed and some seem unclimbed. At this point, who knows what has already been sent.
The crag itself is on public land, however the easiest approach to it uses a reclamation road owned by the coal mine. The road ends and a trail that continues across the mountain side passing "The Perimeter". At this point, you are on public land.
