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
A very fun V4 in its own right, it's also a good one to do a few laps on to warm up for The Hulk to the left.
Start on the flake/rail and then do a couple of big moves up to some great slots. The topout is nice and exciting, but the holds are all there.
A sloping landing is the only detriment to this great problem.
Location
The Hulk boulder, on the downhill face.
Protection
Crashpad, spotter
