Is it too wet to climb at Cavallers today?

The answer at the top of this page says: yes means the rock should be dry, maybe means only the fastest-drying spots, and no means it's too wet. It comes from ECMWF's forecast and how fast granite dries, and it's updated through the day. Nobody checks the rock in person, so touch the holds before you climb.

How long does Cavallers take to dry after rain?

Cavallers is granite. It sheds rain quickly, though cracks, pockets and tufas can seep for days after heavy rain. These times are the model's estimates, not measured here. After a proper soaking (2 mm of rain or more), sunny, windy boulders need about 7 hours of dry weather, most of the boulders about 12 hours, and shaded ones about 17 hours. A light shower needs less time. A breeze shortens the wait, and above about 92% humidity the model won't call the rock dry.

Can you climb at Cavallers when the rock is wet?

Wet rock is slick, and pockets and cracks seep for days. If the holds feel greasy, come back later.
