I am heading to North Conway later this week for a week with plans to climb at Cathedral Ledge, Cannon and Rumney but was looking at the forecast and it isn't looking favorable. I was wondering what the rainy day options for climbing are in the area.

head over to sundown ledges off the kanc. fun steep granite, pretty quick approach and a few dry options in the rain. mountainproject.com/v/sundo…

There are always the aid routes on Cathedral as an option.

cathedral is limited,,the cave has some hard sport climbs and the start of the Beast is usually dry.
Sundown has a few more options among the roofs

...looks like you climb pretty hard Hunter - overhanging sport routes at Rumney are probably a better bet. Guys like Mark Sprague and Eli Buzzell might chime in with specific routes.

Everything on the right side of Waimea should stay dry. Also center main cliff stays plenty dry.

Or continue on to sundown ledge and do Eyeless in Gaza.

How 'bout Shagg Crag? I haven't been there in the rain, but I would assume that much of it stays dry? Not too far from Conway.
