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 wonderful little problem. Start with underclings, and power out, using careful footwork, through the big holds to the lip. Manage the sloper (oh god, I want to share the really cool easy beta on this, but I'll let you figure it out on your own!), love the throw to the sharp hold, and do the rock over onto the face. Once you are established on the face, it's over.
I thought climbing to the finish on this was easier than climbing up the "Downclimb" on this boulder.
