Conceição do Mato Dentro after rain

Conceição do Mato Dentro: quartzite boulders in open country, in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The nearest other areas here are Pedra Rachada (95 km) and Ouro Preto (147 km).

Is Conceição do Mato Dentro dry today?

The answer at the top of this page comes from ECMWF's forecast and how fast quartzite dries, and it's updated through the day. Nobody checks the rock in person, so touch the holds before you climb.

How long does Conceição do Mato Dentro take to dry after rain?

Conceição do Mato Dentro is quartzite. 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 7 hours of dry weather, most of the boulders about 12 hours, and shaded ones about 17 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 Conceição do Mato Dentro when the rock is wet?

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