Does anybody know if redrocks in Gloucester is accessible and if it has any routes that are ice free? Thanks

parking should be clear - climbs are either wet or slightly snowy if i were to guess.

Lynn Woods didn't have many dry boulders when I went Tuesday, I'd assume Gloucester would be similar.

Do you think there will be enough clear rock to set up a top rope as well as lead some things?

likely it'd be clear of snow (on the routes not the bases) but wet. When i went last month there was a fair amount of ice inside zipper still... But at that point the snow banks around town were 5 feet on average rather than 3 like they are now.

So that ice is likely melted, but leaving everything pretty soaked still if i were to guess. Red rocks is extremely low angled so there was a lot more snow there than i expected when i was there.... and what ever wasn't snowy was pretty wet.
