Hey I climbed at the "Sea Crag" last week it dries up VERY quickly. If it is not raining in the morning when you wke up it will be dry when you get there. The next day went bouldering at "Secrets" at the north end of salt point.
But ya I hear ya when will it end?? Rhonert Park huh?? I am in west county near Jenner.

The NorCal rain over the last 8 weeks has been insane. If it wasn't for a short Jtree trip I would probably be crazy right now. Yuk.

The rain has "dampened" a few planned valley trips, but Sugarloaf in Tahoe dries quickly - so if theres a sunny day definately go for it (you too Dave - go onsight fingerlock!). As much as this sucks, imagine how unbelievable spring in the valley is going to be and (for those of us who work for ourselves/are in grad school) how getting other things done now will free up many climbing days then.......

Nor Cal rain? Fresh pow at Tahoe (12" fresh at Sierra right now). If more people appreciated all that Spring snow, they wouldn't close the resorts so early in big snow years. They're mostly planning to close by end of April, despite all the snow. Might stay open longer.

Anyway there's plenty to do when we have a rainy early Spring, and it snows in the mountains.

Here's a photo from last week at Mt Bachelor, a little to the north (planning to close by Memorial Day). Some route signs were buried deeper, and some probably buried all the way, but this is what I have.

Somebody said they were still logging up there, which would mean it's closed.

There are still logs marked for removal, but Ive been climbing there almost every week for the last month or so with no active logging going on. Also - notice of logging is removed. I heard logging disrupted some climbers a while back, but havent heard of it stopping anyone lately
