Going to the new in a few weeks and weather may come in during our trip. What crags/routes stay dry?

First Buttress, colosseum, the cirque (gets hot though), Some random routes all along Kaymoor, lots of the crags will have mini roofs and such so usually one or two climbs in the area will stay mostly dry.

There are a couple at Bridge Buttress if I remember correctly.

Most of the 12s at Third Buttress at Upper Meadow stay dry. Upper Meadow in general has surprising number of dry routes at most grades. +1 for Kaymoor, especially the 12- grade, but also some much easier stuff if you bring a rack. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
