rock update

Postby Fred » Sat Mar 06, 2010 5:59 pm

Did anyone go to Cochrane Lane today? Planning on going there tomorrow and wondering if it's wet.

There was a small crew at Sunnyside today. Very wet except for Superstar, Dihelio, and Ra.
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

Most of Cochrane Lane was dry today. Awesome warm day out on the rock. Still lots of snow on the trail with occasional post-holing so wear gators if you have them.

As I was post-holing through the snow this weekend I couldn't help think of the time I showed up at CL in flip flops and there was 4in of fresh snow on the ground.

Has Anyone gone to Sunnyside last weekend? Wondering how the conditions are now after all that superb weather!

As for Cochrane Lane, as Fred said it is really dry...even more than last summer

A lot of routes were wet most of the summer/fall and are now dry - (i.e. Rock Opera, Gumby roof)

Has anyone gone to Upper Tier? conditions there?

thanks, 11 and sunny next weekend! :D

For the ones enjoying this gorgeous Good Friday please let us know how the conditions are at the different crags

I want to head out Sunday to Sunnyside but I fear that all that dark rock will be wet...

Thanks, :mrgreen:

Greenlaw was a bit wet this morning but dried up towards the end of the day. I think it rained there last night.

We are going to Sunnyside tomorrow so I should be able to give you an update.

We're obviously bucking the trend here, but... Parlee's still fat in places, if plastic. Anders and I played around a bit in there today. Warm, but most of the King's Horses and Blue Pillar was in. For the record, however, it did make several efforts to bury us below refrigerator and the occasional microwave sized blocks of ice. A couple of nice cool days and it'll firm right back up, though... How's that for a happy thought! Anyone? Anyone??

Well I guess I'd climb rock today if I could. Still hoping to be able to wear rock shoes in May.
Climbing slippery rock in stiff mountaineering boots really isn't much fun unless you wear crampons and tools.
...but I've heard that "Drytoolers will be prosecuted" so I'll go for a bike ride instead ;)

Sunnyside was bone dry today with the exception of the usual routes that stay wet most of the year.
