What's up with this weather? Around the middle of last week the forecast for the wekend was suppose to be sunny. Now it's like 90% cahnce of showers this afternoon in Squish. I'm guessing there's not many places to climb outdoors when it's raining?

I was up there on friday, it was cloudly, looking like the start of rain.
There are a couple of places for rain, I think. I'm guessing zombie roof would be alright?

Hey Gary, wasn't there a thread that listed all the places you climb on rainy days? I know some of the chek climbs are decent to climb on these days.

Wow, I wish i could get away on Sunday just to see a little yellow umbrella working its way up a mountain.
Do any of you guys really climb in wet weather?

I climbed today for 5 hours or so and it never rained. Pretty sweet actually. I think tomorrow will be the same!

Climbed today for a few hours at Cypress Falls until it started raining around 6pm ish. Trees are very helpful.

Rainy days are good for practicing aid on steep stuff, like zombie roof. The weekend before last it was pouring and we hung out on RURP Riot on the kacodemon stone. Or you could climb Dreamcatcher I suppose...

on the victoria day long weekend you would expect it to be busy, but to my surprise our crew of 5 bouldered in the Burial Grounds all day and didn't see a soul.
Didn't start to rain until the tips said no more.
Great day.

Never been to the canyon...probably try to go up there June 10th...
Looks like the Gym has lots of stuff I could do...so does cheak wall...holy crap, have 101 climbs listed on cheak. Wow...
What's the anchor situation like there? Mostly chains or rap staions at the tops? Or a trail? I've got to get a better guidebook...
And i'm very very excited about this season...
