Does anyone know if stuff like chainsaw, stain, buff the wood, etc stay dry?

i was there when it was raining pretty hard.. chainsaw got a little nasty but that was just cause there was a mist what was blowing in. ale-8 stayed fine. don't know about the other ones, sorry..

buff should be ok, stain should be good uo to the anchors, and the 11s shouuld be good. the rest depend on humidity but will stay dry from rain

Rain never came today - near perfect conditions (maybe a bit warm). Still got hella bouted. Those routes are tough - I grabbed more draws to clip today then I have in total for the last couple months! Really nice crag - I can see why it is so popular. I think I was most inspired by the stuff around the gmc wall, but didn't get on anything there today. Maybe next time. Chainsaw is pretty cool, but really, really hard. Many thanks to Meadows and her beta...

Must have been nice to have good weather. I found out what the weather map looks like when you get beyond red. It goes purple, black then white. I wish I could have seen that one.

The tops of several routes run off the top or soak through, while lots of pockets lower on routes tend to seep. After a solid night of rain, though, not just an afternoon shower.

Nothing more fun than climbing overhang when it's wet.

Chainsaw = 11d

Most of the routes are usually really wet from all the spray.

Hey Wes,
once you get Wangsaw wired, it's just a matter of fighting the pump. As my friend once said to me "The beta for Chainsaw is as follows: Right crimp, left crimp, right crimp, left crimp....LEFT CRIMP AGAIN!, right crimp, left crimp...etc."
