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.
Getting There
Roughly 3.6 miles up left fork there was a road damage sign (gone now) on the right side of the road.
Park at the large pullout about 3.7mi up the left fork - this will be the first parking area on the left after a "SLIDE AREA" sign.
From the parking lot, walk down-river along the road for about 100ft. The Blue Lambo boulder is about 20ft off the road towards the river and easy to spot.
