Around this time of year, which has better climbing conditions? Better yet, anyone there right now and could update me on the weather?

Gonna be heading to the gaming convention PAX this weekend and feel like taking an impromptu trip to boulder. Never been to either location but I've been all throughout Oregon and Bishop and can climb v4-v7.

If you have any recommendations to help me finalize my plans, or give me some concrete guidance on both locations. Thanks in advance!

If anyone needs a ride from Portland to Seattle tomorrow (8/29), or Seattle to Leavenworth/Squamish (8/31) message me as well. Have room in the car for 1 or 2

Seems like rain is in the forecast for both of those locations. I'm on a plane right now headed to Seattle for a trip I planned to Squamish a month or two ago. I think we might we might go rafting instead because of the weather.

The rain isn't amounting to much in Leavenworth - unfortunately barely a sprinkle. You'll probably be fine bouldering here. And don't waste your time rafting in Washington right now...theres hardly any water in the rivers.

Depends which context were talking, @mediocre. And since right now I'm not top roping my way the heavens, this glass vase will do the trick until then. Legality is a great thing. Either way, don't derail the post.

Appreciate the feedback I've received in the short span. Will keep reading up until Monday

Crazy amount of rain in squamish. Most stuff won't be dry till atleast friday. Rain expected to stop Wednesday Thursday. But looking out my window I don't even expect check to have dry routes (the typical wet weather squamisg area).
