How long to dry after rain stops?

Post by methuselah » Tue Apr 24, 2007 10:32 am

If it stops raining Saturday but remains cool and cloudy, would Ultimate Everything and/or Birds of Prey be dry enough to climb without special challenges on Monday? Anyone have recent experience?

Several weeks (2 or more) of dry weather is required to dry out either BoP or UE. Those climbs are boh notorious for wetness in the sprng, along with Rock On.

Dry multipitch can be found in the Bulletheads, Solarium, base of the Grand, and Apron routes like St Vitus or Sparrow
