What routes (if any) don't usually run after a rain?  Going Sunday but unsure what the conditions will be like.

Haven't checked the forecast to see how bad its looking, but it always seemed like the stage ledge acted as a rain gutter for the handful of routes below it (meaning those routes were dry).

If the sun is out, most of the face dries quickly so if you wait until late morning / early afternoon you have a bettter chance. The nose area routes dry very fast.

Last year my son and I hiked up to a streaming wet southside, by

the time we did short mans sorrow (stage ledge is indeed a gutter) Rats Ass and Second Coming were dry.
