Thanks for pointing out the obvious but i was more referring to the rock and if it is dry enough to climb. I'm concerned that even on dry days the humidity might make it slimey.

It has been raining off and on for about a week. A lot of routes will be seeping wet for awhile. Some sunshine and others will dry up quik.

I just got back from the Red and everything was drenched. Today Solar Collector had waterfalls all over it, and even the steep routes were slimey. But damn it is beautiful back there. Really just incredible! We spent quite a long time exploring and had the great pleasure of meeting Goodguy as well as Yoda. Only got one route in. So then we went to Roadside where everything was pretty wet but we got in another route there before the sky opened up again. Waterfalls was the theme of the day, including on the trails, but I had a GREAT day. I love the Red, rain or shine. Great day. I can't wait to get back next weekend.

Of course I hope it's dry so I can climb...

Dang,girl. How did you get home before me?
Helloworld,yup its a sopping mess,prolly more rain in the forecast too.....
I stayed off pinnacles this trip. It wasn't a total waste ,we found an awesome trail.
It's so nice to walk through the woods with nothing but water and binoculars,instead of a 30 pound pack.
