Trad in The Rain...where does one go in the Red?

[Cathy]

I\m sure this topica has come up before but if anyone has any good ideas for good routes in potential rain, I'd love to hear where they are. Grade of routes about 5.7 or 8 unless it's a fabulous 6. Trying to save the elbow right now.
Thanks, Cathy

Routes that I know stay dry:

Green Eggs 5.7 (fun, but only 30 feet though)
Ham 5.7 (ditto)

Central Scrutinizer 5.9
Environmental Impact 5.7 (Light rain)

Autumn 5.9
Rock Wars 5.10

Snake 5.8 (light rain)

The Shining 5.8+

I'm sure other people can come up with some more...

I think two other routes at dip wall will stay dry too, If i remember right, the grinch and whoville are under a roof. it's a 5.4 and a 5.6, but there is a harder start to whoville and the grinch is much harder than a .4 imo. But with 4 routes that stay dry, Dip Wall might be a good option.

are most of the routes here still closed? from what I've read the better routes have been closed by the forest service... that'd be cool if that wasn't the case.

Yes

[ahab]

i don't know if they are 'the better' routes cuz i've never climbed 'em, but i think only 3 routes are closed (finger lickin' good, sultans of stem, close to the edge??). everything else should be open.

i recommend:

lunatic fringe
starship trooper
astroflex
and the right and wrong cracks are worthwhile.

which reminds me...i need to get back out there...

thanks for the beta. I may head out there this sunday.

Fortress wall is good in the rain, half the routes there stay dry...
