Anybody in that direction? Were thinking Sat. and Sun. Is it as bad as it looks?

I'm thinking of braving the weather and taking the drive. Was there a couple weekends ago and some of the roofs look so large I wouldn't imagine that they would ever get wet. Any chance yall could use an extra belayer?

Looks like its supposed to be rainy tomorrow but good Sunday. You can climb at the Obed in the rain though, no problem. Lilly tends to seep/just be generally gross when its been rainy, but stephen king's and tieranny will be nice. Various other stuff should be dry too. Unfortunately I'll be stuck working...

I'm from Knoxville and have been many times in inclement weather. I'd guess maybe 70% or so is good to go in the rain due to the roof system. Lily Bluff is a no go in the rain usually, but most of the other areas are no problem. Just be careful on the approaches when/if it gets muddy.

Y12 is always dry right? At least born on the 4th?
