Is Crow Hill worth a ~90min drive tomorrow for some early season climbing?

It's spring and it rained earlier this week...

Probably relatively dry but the high tomorrow is only 40, and doesn't hit that until afternoon.

Right around the time it goes into the shade.

It has been raining on and off. I would say it will probably be a little moist and the cold won't help much. That said I don't think the leaves are back in so it may dry out faster than usual.

40 degrees can be a little frigid for wet rock... Toss a handwarmer in your chalkbag.

The quarries might be a better, albeit less scenic, TRing location for tomorrow, since they will be in the sun and warmer (and dryer on the wall itself).

Ok, thanks for the intel.

I was out there last weekend and conditions were good but the inside of the cracks were seeping. This weekend is likely to be worse due to the recent rain and cold. Only a handful of routes will climbable in my best guess.

Went this morning... As suggested, it was soaking wet.. Some of the climbs literally had water flowing out of them.

4 or 5 climbs were dry though, fun climbing was found.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
