Too wet in the springs?

Can any of the folks from the Springs let me know how wet things are down there? My kids want to climb tomorrow and I was thinking of going to RRCOS from Broomfield, but I don't wanna go down there if its to wet to climb. I know that sandstone likes to crumble when wet, soo....

Has it dried out enough to climb?

There is still snow on the ground in a lot of places with water dripping and seeping over the faces.

I would say RR is probably out, it was pretty wet outside today. The south end topropes may be ok because they dry off fairly quickly though.

Why are you driving all the way down to The Springs if you don't mind me asking? North Table or Boulder Canyon are much closer and you don't have to worry about the rain, just crowds.

Still pretty wet in the GOG, haven't been to RR lately but If the gods are wet usually so is RR.

Climbed there yesterday. Plenty of sand/grit on the holds but otherwise it was fine. Trails will be pretty muddy with tomorrows warm up though.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
