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
Begin as for "Joe Cool" on a blocky hold and begin traversing right. Many options exist so look high and low if the sequence feels hard for V5. Turn the corner and continue on huge jugs, underclings, and slopers and exit up and right above a small boulder.
A variation to this problem (V2) begins on the arete and traverses only the juggy part of this problem. The Caldiero guidebook has caused confusion about the sequence and rating of this problem as he describes this easier variation as the full "V5". Either way, the problem is a lot of fun so get on it!
