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
From the UMWA Boulder, look back down the canyon. You’ll see the top of a large boulder with a huge dead tree on top of it right next to the shoulder of the road (same side as UMWA) in the wash. Walk just beyond it to hike down to the creek and the base of the boulder. Across the streambed is a short boulder. Sit start on the left side of the face facing the road on two right-facing crimps, pick your feet, and get your butt off the ground and to the top of the boulder. The problem is morpho and suited to people with open hips.
