Tufa and Travertine are both varieties of limestone. Both are carbonaceous precipitates, attaining key minerals from the calcite that makes up the majority of limestone. tufa is more porous than travertine. Travertine is generally formed near hot springs, while tufa forms in more moderate waters. Both can make the fantastic column structures we love to climb.

However, most of Tufa City is unclimbable after a big rain because the wall and it's tufa's stay wet for weeks. I once saw the wall flowing water a month after a heavy rain! A small storm shouldn't effect the wall.
Sorry, I'm not an expert in Limestone so I don't know the type(s) that are at the Homestead, but there sure are tufa's on this one wall.

Also water soluable and so should be avoided after rains.

I just want people that are viewing this page for beta on the place to know not to climb on wet tufas. I feel it should be mentioned in the description of the wall but I can't add it there since I did not create the page. Used caps so people might see it easier.
