Title: OK to Climb Sat?
Post by: kaos14 on February 23, 2007, 10:48:28 AM

So Pinns had about 3/4" of rain yesterday and last night,  but today and tomorrow look pretty good.  Will the rock be dry enough by tomorrow to climb without causing damage?  Anyone got an informed opinion?

It is fine.  Probably best to avoid the real hard routes that are in shady areas.

What do you mean? All we need is some one to try Gorillas in the Moss again when it's wet and that baby will be 14a.



The forecast looks pretty good for tomorrow.

I guess that'll be OK since I am currently working on The Verdict.  Would Feed The Beast not be a good idea?  I planning to wait on that one until I've got a belayer AND a spotter anyways, so I guess it's no big deal.

what you should do instead is tailspin, since it is nice and wet you can break off all the shit that is loose.

Oh yeah?  Where's that one?  If I take a lead fall because a hold breaks I'll be one merit badge closer to being a Master of Mud.

clip first bolt of foreplay and keep going left, falls are pretty clean, make sure your belayer is tied down.

Feed the Beast is probably dry.
