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
Start standing on big holds, and head straight up. There are not many very easy problems at Joe's that are actually fun. I think this one, as well as Tonka (to the right of Toy Truck) qualifies.
Run up it tennies if you're passing through. Or you can actually get your climbing shoes on, and do all the easy ones in this area, starting with these two, for a nice circuit.
