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
The main wall at this area is one of the more remarkable bouldering sites I've ever seen. Three classic problems going at V6/V8/V10 on a minimally featured overhanging face just call out to be climbed. They're all just tall enough, just steep enough, and just hard enough to keep you coming back for more. This is a must-climb destination at Joe's Valley.
There are other boulders in this area including those containing Baraka (V9) and Trent's Mom (V10), both of which are fantastic.
