According to friends, the parking lot area was not climbable last weekend. Things were falling off left and right. But it should get much better this week.

Rumney from last weekend.

40 and sunny on Sunday! Time to climb rocks! Also it's been rainy and warm up here the last couple of days. Probably not the best for climbing ice.

Wasn't it about 20 below a couple days before that? I know it got down to 10 below at my house in RI Sat night/Sunday morning.

It was super cold over the weekend, but Tuesday was warm and rainy. Wednesday was pretty warm too. I just want to climb rocks man!

Well.......2/20..... Newfound Lake was a slush fest, but the ice was fat.

This is so weird right now.

almost any area that you go to that has a decent water sorce has good ice to climb now. keep track of the daily high and low temps at ALL the places that you might want to climb at. Keep track of sunny or cloudy. know what faces south and west.

Thanks Nick, I'm new to the area so I guess I need to get out and explore

rumny can get baked out fast as it faces south west but it also has a few reliables. Cave route, selson Blue, etc.

What's in at Rumney so far? I hear that the parking lot wall and meadows stuff hasn't come in. Anyone know what is in?

...the climbs up high - think Geo Factor - are getting done. Cave was in Selsun wasn’t this past weekend.
