Options in case of red rock rain

Two of my friends were out there today. One at the Keystone Thrust trail (Willow Springs) this morning and a bouldering couple at Kraft Crags. Report is it was dry enough to climb in those areas. Water was seen in water collection pools on the ridge above Red Springs Picnic Area

^^^^^^^^^ thanks for doing the right thing

The Finish boulderers staying at my place were out at Kraft Crags today. They said nothing about holds breaking. I'd agree the canyons are still too wet.

According to MWS and Weatherunderground more rain starting around midnight Wednesday. Snow at higher elevations.

Within a year, the Wood's will be the poster family for not climbing on wet Red Rock. Perhaps a Black Diamond PSA poster with the Wood's noting how bad it is to be selfish and damage a one of a kind resource forever. Remember when Joe Kinder cut down the tree and became the spokesman for low impact climbing? Or when Shenanigans or whatever her name is cheated at a comp and then wrote a redemption article on it? The Wood's have seen an opening for a new storyline to boost followers. They will arise as the wise sages with lessons learned from experience. #hastags and likes

Hey buddy don't you tell me when I can climb! I'm on vacation here! This is America and I'm gonna climb if I want to. derp

If anyone would like a tour of the amazing development going on in Prison Gate let me know :). Joe Smith has hundreds of problems up there , we are currently building a guidebook as well but that is likely far off.

Him and I are often up there, it's not just a rainy day crag believe me!

Does Prison gate have any roped climbs established or is it just bouldering? I have never been so done know the terrain

Thomas Beck wrote: The track leading past the Rodeo Wall is close to a gentle hill approach and the wall faces SE. It's backed against the escarpment so doesn't look like much from a distance. It might be here: 36 13 39 x 115 21 25

If Gary Fike is on MP ask him. He put them up. I don't think there is anything harder than 11a

I was in town over the weekend.  The misting rain started on Saturday in Oak Creek Canyon earlier than expected so we bailed off our route.  We sat around waiting see see if the clouds would pass but the rain kept accumulating and soon the cliffs had signs of water streaking.  The rain continued all night, so Saturday we drove up to the Woodbury Road Crags in Utah.  It was the perfect opportunity to check out the Solstice, which had been way too hot (south-facing) on a previous rainy day trip when we climbed at the east facing wall, and a windy day trip when we climbed at the north facing wall.  The crag looks high up and far away from easiest to get to parking pullout, but it's only about a 15' hike.  Had a fun day climbing on the sharp limestone and knobby chert.  I would have preferred to be climbing long trad routes, but you take what you can get.  Woodbury Road area is a good option for sport climbing mostly in the 5.7 to 5.10 range.  A smattering of 5.11 at each crag.
