I see that 0.08in fell last night. This seems pretty miniscule. It's been dry for a while, so it is expected that the rock should dry out fast. I'm aware of the "ground should be powdery dry sand and not wet" rule of thumb. But I'm just wondering if the locals have any additional advice about climbing today.

I canceled my plans and moved them to tomorrow, I would say for the sake of the rock take a day off.

Also would imo avoid stuff like black corridor or super shaded areas, I'll be looking for the sunny spots to make sure water is dried up.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
