Looks like there's rain in the forecast this week. Was looking at Mt. Rubidoux and have never been there. 

MP says its "quartz monzonite", which I have no idea if it's like sandstone where you need to wait a few days until you can climb. Thoughts?

Joshua Tree is quartz monzonite also.  Not like sandstone.

Rubidoux granite (monzonite) is good to go when wet. Besides, there's hardy a hold big enough to break off anyway!
