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
Absolutely perfect rock and interesting movement make this climb worth doing if you're in the area.
Climb the black, swirly face starting with your left hand on a flake at 6 feet and your right hand in a slopey pocket at 5 feet. Make a tricky move to stick the slopey slot above and then top out slightly left and up on slopers and crimps.
There is potential for a hard sit start to this problem, but it probably would not climb as well.
