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
An awesome, tall problem, for some reason not in the new guidebook. It is in the Utah Bouldering guide (Grijalva-Pegg-Bigwood). Start on the blocky hold, about 5 feet up, on the right side of the face move up and right through a jug, and get the right hand in the gaston flake. Make a long hard move (crux) up and left to a jug at the lip. Finish on good holds.
