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
Powerade follows fairly positive rails that don't quite point the right way, and requires a couple of technical foot placements to make it feel like v3.
Would be a much better problem, because the rock is great, and the moves are fun, but it has a boulder on the left of the start that both makes the opening moves a little awkward, and also gives it a worse landing. All the same, worth doing if you are in the area.
