Escaping the rain in Yosemite

I've been staying in Yosemite for the past 6 days, and I'd like to stay around longer, but the weather looks pretty nasty the next few days. Is there a good place to climb within 6 hours of the Valley, or should I just hunker up for the next week and embrace the rain?

Jailhouse Rock is the usual escape, but you need to climb pretty hard to get more than a couple clips off the ground.

With routes named "warm-up 11d" and "warm-up 11c", I might unfortunately have to pass for this year due to personal suckishness, but thanks for the recommendation! Joshua Tree is looking pretty promising right about now...I might head there unless I can find something closer! Road closures are a major concern of mine right now, since they seem to be closing at a scary rate.

If the pass is open, Owens Gorge is often dry when the Sierra is wet.

It's closed again.

In similar conditions in 1996, we scooted off the Pinnacle National Monument for cobble pulling on mostly bolts.
