Access Issue: Don't climb on wet rock!
Details
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
The backside of Wills A Fire/Beyond Life houses a large, impressive 65° overhang. Currently, there are two exits that go out of it. The high start moving right being a new school classic known as Pagan Poetry, and the lower start moving left called the Sound of Silence.
Pagan Poetry: Start on a glossy RH sidepull and LH edge immediately above it, about halfway up the wall. Pull on and fire right to an incut crimp, holding a difficult swing and taking care not to dab. Move in left to undercling, then deadpoint right hand to jug/pocket. Move to lip and topout.
As PP starts in a slightly in-obvious position (compared to Pegasus or PP Low), and has only decent rock with a dab factor on the crux, I’ve given it 3 stars. It makes up for what it lacks in visuals on the wall, and is rightfully popular.
