I heard that there is a belay-o-meter on Bedtime that charges 50 cents a minute to use the bolts to belay.

ok so i walked into that. i was mainly just wondering how long the cracks a fortress stay dry after some rain i know there are lots of walls at the red that stay dry and im sure there are select climbs here that do stay dry but as a whole if it were to rain all day friday would it still be worth making the trip up from nashville

Fortress is the traddie destination on rainy days. You'll find something dry before, during, and after a rain. Come on up.

Climbed up there last Saturday and everything was dry. There wasn't hardly anyone there either.
