It lightly rained here in Ojai for  about 10mins but I was wondering if it rained up at Santa Barbara yesterday and if so, was it enough to not climb at Lizards Mouth on Friday? Thanks in advance.

Should be fine by Friday.  If the ground is dry and it hasn’t rained in a few days and the only rain they got was very brief t should be good to go.

Yeah, I figured that but I just wanted to make sure there wasn’t a deluge of water up in Santa Barbara while it just lightly sprinkled here. I think I will go on Saturday just to be safe. Thank you for answering.

Bummer. Drove up there today and it looks like it rained last night or this morning. Quite a lot. I ended up driving to the parking area of The Brickyard just hoping it would be dry at the higher elevation. Nope. Very very wet but it didn’t seem to stop the 4 cars of boulderers climbing there.  I know it’s mostly slopers but come on guys! Dont climb while it’s wet. Please.
