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 good warm up for the harder problems around here.
Start sitting on the far left side of the Pimpin Jeans boulder, and work yourself into an awkward mantle on the right side of the little prow. It's easier, less awkward, and similarly uneventful to finish by working up the ledges to the left (but then it's probably v0).
