Before you go
Cabo Negro after rain
Cabo Negro: limestone boulders by the sea, in Asturias, Spain. The nearest other areas here are Arnao (8 km), El Tranqueru (16 km) and Valle del Nalón (49 km).
Is Cabo Negro dry today?
The answer at the top of this page comes from ECMWF's forecast and how fast limestone dries, and it's updated through the day. Nobody checks the rock in person, so touch the holds before you climb.
How long does Cabo Negro take to dry after rain?
Cabo Negro is limestone. It sheds rain quickly, though cracks, pockets and tufas can seep for days after heavy rain. These times are the model's estimates, tuned on Fontainebleau sandstone and not checked here. After a proper soaking (2 mm of rain or more), sunny, windy boulders need about 8 hours of dry weather, most of the boulders about 14 hours, and shaded ones about 19 hours. A light shower needs less. Wind, sun and dry air shorten the wait, and above about 92% humidity the model won't call the rock dry.
Can you climb at Cabo Negro when the rock is wet?
Wet rock is slick, and pockets and cracks seep for days. If the holds feel greasy, come back later.
