Hello locals,

is it too hot to climb in RRG in july? are there some sectors in the shade.

thanks,
guatang

its never TOO hot to climb but it might be pretty uncomfortable. really it depends on the weather/year. last year was pretty manageable for the first half of july. if you want nice weather though, july is probably not a good bet.

Went out last weekend and it was buggy. It was hot and humid. Still had a great time.

Definitely have some bug spray with you.

Really it depends on your sending level and goals.

If you're lookin for your hardest sends, July isn't your best bet. Humidity is not your friend.

If you wanna climb a bizillion good moderates, its perfect, because most of the sport climbers have retired for the season.

amen.

although i did do my hardest onsight 2 weeks ago - but my "hard" is everyone else's moderate

don't forget your bug spray.

My first day out was at the Roadside gumby wall in Mid July, sun a blazin', I didn't know better then but now I'd probably bitch about the sweat bees and greasy holds

Its July 1st, and I can't think of a better day to be climbing. Temps are perfect.

for all the talk of " \i love to climb" you fukkers are picky. just go for goodness sakes. what else would you be doing, going to summer school like an ass?

ok thanks, bingo bongo, then see you there i only want to get a bit punked.
are there also dangerous ticks?

Anticlimber has a dangerous tick.
