The last four or five weeks have been the same: perfect climbing conditions throughout the week and suddenly, every weekend, a huge front comes through and douses our state in rain. Once again, it's happening this weekend. Anyone been thinking the same?

I think you are the 1st person in the history of Arizona to complain about too much rain....

Yeah, this weather is BS! I've turned into a freaking gym route by default since I'm working during the week and it sucks on the weekends. Can't wait till Daylight Saving Time so we can start getting outside during the week after work.

What we are experiencing with the weekend rains is the exact reason why I do not, nor ever plan to live in Washington. I prefer to climb dry rocks as much as possible. Living in Washington does not allow for this nearly enough! Have fun tomorrow.

It is bad karma to complain about rain in AZ. Seriously now, I've lived here for 23 years and have been rained out on weekends perhaps ten times. That is nothing. Besides, this rain helps keep the pine bark beetles from killing all our trees. Perspective is important. Any way, the wild flower season will be exceptional!

Heading out to Joshua tree tonight. Only 20% chance of showers tomorrow. Crossing my fingers!

It's been suck ass. Fortunately, I got to climb today! Tomorrow looks good but I have to work. It's been surreal complaining to all my climbing friends about this weather when in a few short moments we'll all be roasting in the inferno, driving our cars up North to climb every available climbing trip.

This weekend wasn't all bad. We did Hanging Gardens in the McDowell Mountain's yesterday and it was a perfect 72 deg all day long. Unfortunately, it is now raining and it will be another weekend day spent at the PRG.

I think your all a bit too selfish and should be thank full for the rain we are getting. The weather is just fine the way it is. Im sorry it has messed with your climbing plans but that is just too bad.Boo Hoo Hoo.
