January conditions?

Post by NateDoggOG » Sun Jan 08, 2012 7:21 am

Just wondering what the climbability is in the Smoke Bluffs right now..... Been back in Ontario for the past three weeks for the holidays and it's been pretty sunny here, but I dream of climbing at night, and am hoping to get on some real rock soon.

Peering out my kitchen window, I can see the smoke bluffs and all I see is wet cold miserable rock. We've had nothing but rain for about a solid week. The nearest thing to a climber you'll find in the smoke bluffs are those misguided diggers. Dangling from drenched ropes, elbows deep in the mud, their faces sunken and pale, bodies bow legged from rickets, their eyes glazed, staring off to a time and place when things were warm and rock was dry.

Multiple climbs at penny, burgers and neat and cool dry within a matter of hours of the rain stopping...

Imaging how much funner this could be with booze and explosives
