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
Right around the corner from Black and Blue, facing down the hill, start with two decent crimps about head height. After getting the left foot on the obviously huge foot go out left to a ridiculously small crimp.
The crux is making your way from this perch to the obvious slot above. Most people cross but you can also bump the left. Either way it's far and you'll be bearing down on small crimps.
For a two move problem this one is fantastic, technical and powerful. Bring your A-game crimp strength for this one.
