I was there Saturday and it was pretty wet...
Everything left of Blind Profit was dry and Shrimp looked dry, in between... might have dried up some yesterday though as it was warmer.

We were at Pilot on Sunday (1/6) and everything from "Crackin' up" to either "Cow Patty Bingo" or "Obsequious" resembled more of a waterfall than a rock face. Like wise Black rain also had water flowing down it. I believe that most of the routes inbetween were dry. Meaning "Shrimp" and "Psycho-metric"(I believe) were dry. Everything away from the parking lot was dry and I cant say for anything back towards the parking lot.

If you think it might be wet, it is -- if you are thinking of the middle wall of the Amphitheater. What wets the middle wall is not surface water, but ground water that seeps through layers and fissures, emerging along the base of the roof. The longer it has rained and been rainy, the longer it will continue to leak. Access to the rings for "Turkey Shoot" stays wet even after "Crackin' Up" looks dry, which can leave you up there with no way to get your gear down. The lower part of "Surry County Ethics" also leaks, but "Syzygy" stays dry like the rest of the left wall and right wall.
Elsewhere, it is like elsewhere: what is sunny and breezy dries sooner, such as Parking Lot section. Because of the recent fire there, Sauratown has not been an option, reportedly closed until further notice.
