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
AKA: Electric Fence - A classic, old school problem similar to the popular Self Service in New Joe's. It is old school in that it starts sitting and tops out around 8 feet high. Shindig is classic in that the heel hooks, sloper slaps, and feet cutting loose moves are sooo good. It is steep and traverses a bit so there is more than 8 feet of climbing. Superior rock quality!
