Hot Coals, Sweaty Rock
Palisades Quartzite can 'sweat' if the humidity & temperature factors are at certain levels; never seen this before elsewhere. Water beaded up on the rock on that sunny day, then ran in rivulets down the rock to form puddles on some of the best edges. Way strange. Otherwise, good edgy climb, tho.
