Any chance it'll be dry this weekend, especially after all the rain today?

It will most likely be fine. It is usually climbable during rains, but gets a little run off during heavy down pours.

so the question is, are we gonna get heavy down pours today?

All kiddin' aside, it really poured down here all morn. Jist sprinkled Wed and Thurs, but this morn... whooee, the skies opened up. It's let up fer a spell, but chek out the radar... lots more on the way:

The Ssanctuary stays mostly dry all the time, but after this morn's downpour, it's probally a tad wet at the top. Problem is, with a forecast of mostly cloudy and fog, ther ain't no sun ta dry it off fast.

Today, yes.........but tommorrow it will be fine. I will be there Sunday? JW is pretty cool!

Thanks Rizzo, maybe I'll go to Soill instead, Pigsteak(remember him) has bolted a bunch of new stuff at Jackson Falls, on-sights to be had...the weather has been dry there...sounds like a no brainer.

It stays dry for long time,I climbed it this summer in pouring rain. I put the anhors under that small roof near the top for that reason.

cool thanks Tim! Awesome route. Speaking of the bolts. I've never bolted before so I'm no expert on equipping routes. But the forth bolt on that routes seem like it's not in the ideal place or maybe better put, the forth bolt requires a real long draw to keep the rope from catching or possibly cutting on that flake during a fall.

What do you think?

Its fine if you use a long draw, It is sorta close to that flake.I will take another look at it. I was so focused on getting it done at the time. Glad you liked it.
