Curious if anyone knows if the climbs toward the back of the zoo would be dry Saturday. I think the bottoms would be dry, but the angle at the top makes think I should venture else where.
And yes I know the guide book says they are, but its been raining for two days.
A PM could eleminate other issues if its climbable.

you should worry more about whether or not the rock will stay in place rather than if it will be dry.
It's a bit of a choss pile...

My guess is they'd be wet. The Zoo is a pretty damp area.

its seems like the bottoms of hippo and scar tissue are usually wet after a rain but the tops stay dry. there is always alot of moisture that collects in that hollow so thats what id be worried about. I think youd find something to climb though pretty easily. GL

The hike is hell so I wouldn't chance it. The bottom of both the 12s are almost always wet so if its been raining I'd think about someplace else (like the load for example)
