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-

and under "Data Charts" click the "Precipitation" tab. Make sure the surface wetness is 0 before climbing.

Getting There
At the fork with the turn-off for Rick and Morty, there will be a trail going up to the right via a staircase of boulders. Go up these and then immediately left, then up canyon for 100 feet, cutting across a dirt slope. You’ll be led into a boulder-filled wash going uphill. Look for cairns. Follow the wash to the boulder, which will come into view on the left after 5 minutes or less. There is potential for more problems in the vicinity.
