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
Climb the beautiful, tall face of the Thriller Boulder staying more or less centered as you ascend.
A more difficult (and more exposed) variation can be done by climbing the left side of the slab that appears to be slightly separated from the rest of the face. A classic and extremely aesthetic "boulder problem".
