How is Rifle looking with all the rain we've been getting lately?
Debating heading there this weekend, but not sure if it'll still be seeping.

Its seeping. At least one route I was on had an unusable hold, and im sure the other route did too. But the water was hiding the chalk, so who knows.

p.s. - The canyon sucks until October. Wait until then.

It's pretty wet. Was raining there again today so that won't help things.

What about elk creek canyon, or lime creek? I am headed out that way this weekend.

Main Elk and East Elk climbing should be in good shape. It's probably too early to drive into Lime Creek but haven't heard about road conditions yet.

Nice. Thanks michael. My wfe and I are staying out at Elk Creek campground, and we were going to try Rifle 1 day and elk creek the other. Looks like we will just go to elk. Never been and there looks to be tons of stuff in the new book.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
