Hey all,
Just want to get a gauge of how much this incoming weather pattern might disrupt climbing plans in the City of Rocks. Driving from a ways away (Eastern Sierra), so am curious as to how realistic this forecast is in terms of dropping a whole lot of precip, or whether it might dry out in between storms...
Thanks!

Not looking good. Spring storms up there can be real soakers.

Also the place is quite the weather magnet.  Been there >50x and have been rain/snowed out likely 20 of them or more.

I was there around this time last year. Forecast looked decent. We woke up to 4 inches of snow. The City is tricky in spring.

Dont want to hijack the thread but Im thinking of going to City of Rocks in August and have heard mixed reports about weather that time of year.  Any feedback would be appreciated.

All three times I have been in summer, the forecast was good. Rained/crazy wind every time

Weather is mostly stable, but hot. You'll likely want to chase the shade, which is pretty easy to do.

Forecast looks bumpy from Friday through the weekend.  It'll dry quickly especially with a bit of wind.  But my guess is it'll be wet off and on.  Doable.  Especially nice if you have a dry place to be for the wet times.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
