Dumped on including hail and lightning around 3 in juniper canyon..kept raining for a few hours afterward. Joshua tree might be a good call for the next couple days!

Yep, rained Sat from when we left Juniper Canyon around 3 PM until after 6 back at the campground. Good soaker. Wind started early on Sunday and to continue Sunday to mid-Monday with dry conditions (less than 20% humidity). Of course, its going to need time to dry out.

Anyone have feet on the ground today? Was thinking about climbing in the loop tomorrow or Thursday....

I went out this morning to Sunnyside primarily staying in the crack systems. The ground was a little wet, but rock was bone dry.

What are the current conditions like at the moment? Wet sandstone or good to go?

Climbed in sunshine with occasional cloud cover in Calico Hills until 2pm today.
Looked like rain to the south, beyond Blue Diamond, and to the east. But the entire loop road was under a big blue sucker hole! The NOAA site for Red Rocks reports no precipitation thus far today.

Does anyone know if it rained in RR over the weekend? Hoping to get out climbing tomorrow but don't want to show up to wet crags. Thanks for any info

I hiked out towards the Fringe this morning from 9:30 to 11:30 from the Kraft Bouldering parking lot. Rock looked dry. Ground was dry.

A lot of the gutters in Henderson clogged and a few intersections were flooded.

The worst rain fell at RR.

It's gonna be wet for a bit..

I'm here till Saturday, it seems like the rocks will be too wet to climb? What areas nearby are good even after rain? We are sport climbers ranging from 5.9 to 5.11.
We came all the way to climb and would like to climb somewhere everyday, thanks for your help!
