Looking for good rainy day options for the Obed. Moderates up to reasonable 5.11. Any recommendations? Thanks

Tieranny. All the "approach" pitches to the big roofs have their own anchors and are 5.10-11. The whole area stays dry in the rain, though.

The Inner Circle was cool and dry. It is in North Clear and a short walking distance from the Lily Pad. The 10's on the right side are good, but the Rail in the middle is spectacular. There should still be a giant tree you can hoist up as a stick clip.

Stephen King Library and some of the routes over by undertow.

+1 for the Inner Circle. I just started spending time there, the routes there are great. Also, fighting the pump on Saddam Hussein with the rain falling 10 yards behind you is a special experience.

Inner circle, parts of south clear, parts of Y12, and tierrany.

Saddam isn't in the inner circle, but is an awesome climb. Haven't tried climbing it in the rain before though.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
