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
This sweet little vertical line will test your crimp strength and technique. At first glance, the holds seems obvious, but piecing them together in the right sequence proves to be trickier than expected.
Start with your left hand on an edge at 5 feet and your right on a slimper sidepull slightly higher and to the right. Attain the crimp above via some technical trickery and proceed onwards towards the lips via gastons and sloping edges.
A final committing move to the top caps off this stellar climb!
