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
Crux: After doing the dynamic move to the jug rail, there is a tree growing on the right side of this ledge. Heel hook right and reach up to a bad crimp with your right hand (although I have seen it done with the left). Slowly lock off and reach a decent set of crimps 15ft up. The crux is over, but the commitment is not.
New beta has been found that uses a mono after doing the first big move eliminating the original sequence described above. Hence, the downgrade.
