Does anyone live near the Gunks that could tell me if the cliffs are really wet? From the weather reports you guys are getting rain but I'm not really sure how bad it is. Any chance the rock could dry out by Saturday?

I was up there Tuesday, there is a lot of water but some stuff is dry. If you go without an agenda you will find something to climb. Saturday's forecast is iffy last time I checked (30% rain/snow). I'm hoping to get out also... Also, 299 coming out of New Paltz was closed due to flooding, had to go thru Gardiner. Its dumping rain today so I would guess that will probably hold true thru the weekend.

Edit:RT 299 not 209.

Supposed to rain thurs friday and sat.

forecast.weather.gov/MapCli…

climbingweather.com/search/…

Those are the 2 best sources i know of. Noaa.gov is great for forecasts and climbweather.com is great to visualize the avg monthly temp and precip

Flooding along the Wall Kill River may impede your ability to reach Trapps. Check status before departing.

Anyone have any further info on flooding preventing access? I am planning on being at the carriage road around 10:00 am. What do you think my chances are?
