Rock conditions this weekend? (Jan-27-30)

Post by deamicl »

Hey everyone,

Don't know where else to ask but does anyone know what the rock conditions are like down there (other than fuckin cold)? I'd hate to drive down for the weekend just to look at wet rock for 3 days.

Thanks

steep stuff will be dry, maybe a tad slimy on north facing walls... but you'll be sticking to the sun anyway

I'll be there! Last chance to get a send in the first month of 2011.
And on the third day, God created the Red River Gorge(by conjecture), and he saw that it was good.

Watch for collapsing seracs! They have been cataclysmic lately, echoing across the landscape.

curious as to how slimy the rock was, given all of the recent snowmelt.

It was insanely perfect out there. Unfortunately I f'ed up my shoulder on saturday (bolting, no less), but it was so good on Sunday even hiking was fun.
