Hey, does anyone know if it's okay to climb at Wheeler Gorge after the rain, there is light rain predicted.

Thanks

Stay on the stream bed cobblestone... stay off the sandstone.
Not much fun..... extra slick.
PT. Dune in Malibu, at the beach works....
or better yet.... grab some Granite, but that’s a bigger drive.

Just so you know, it’s bern raining here in Ojai all night and morning. It wasn’t a light rain. Rock will still be wet on Saturday. The water collects in all the earth above the climbs and seeps through the cobblestone cracks for quite awhile after rain. Sandstone wall will be wet still also.

Thanks Jon and Guy. Is that the only other climbing options in the region for tomorrow? Would love any suggestions !
