Robinson Bluff after rain?

Has anyone climbed here the day after a rain? How was it? I've heard the southern sandstone doesn't have the same fragility issues as western desert sandstone and am hoping to climb Fri/Sat after likely thunderstorms on Thursday.

This is a limestone area, so sandstone issues won’t matter here. As long as you climb dry routes, you will have a great time

How is/was it (assuming you'll see this after your adventures today)? I am taking my brother and sister out tomorrow morning. No rain in the forecast today!

Tall lines and beautiful views, what more can you ask for?

We switched plans when the forecast for today started to look worse down there. But based on previous experience, it is a really fun place to climb.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
