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
This arete faces uphill and can't be seen from the road. Start with your righthand on the only edge while your lefthand will be slapping up the arete using small edges. At the crux the feet disappear and the finish jug is in sight but out of reach. It is at this point that the name of the problem seems to make total sense.
Location
This problem is located up on the western hillside 1.4 miles up Cottonwood Rd. It's a larger boulder and can be seen from the road if you know what to look for. The Beautiful arete that you slap up with your left hand while climbing Filla Void is the right side as you see it from the road. The boulders in this area are located on the hillside up above the the wash which contains the fast twitch boulders.
