Then don't ask if there is dry rock at castle. Sheesh. Shit is dry asap with a strong breeze.
What I meant was that I wouldn't be climbing on crimps today, I know the local eitquette. Normally I would say that 48 hours is enough time to wait before climbing after a storm, but today 90% of the boulders were still very wet and there is still a good amount of snow on the ground and falling/dripping out of the trees. As for the strong breeze, I think it takes more than a strong breeze to melt 5 inches of snow.
The conditions are pretty bad up there. Many problems that look dry, would start to feel wet after a try. Plus you get that classic wet sandstone feeling, where no matter how much you clean the holds it still feels like there are loose grains of sand on the holds. When you climb on rock in this condition you are essentially breaking sand grains off the holds. I think it is totally unacceptable to climb in these conditions. Many people think that it is just the crimps that break, but in reality by climbing like this you are improving or dismantling the sloper holds too.
The 10% of the problems that are dry include: Eco Terrorist, Hueco Wall, Domino, and some stuff at Magoos. To top it off the clouds came in and started to mist as I was leaving. But I did have a nice send of Hueco Wall, so there still is fun to be had. It is so beautiful up there right now, I love the vibrancy that comes out of the moss, lichen, and rock when it is moist like it was today.
