Before you go
Forest Rock after rain
Forest Rock: boulders in the forest, in Leicestershire, United Kingdom. The nearest other areas on this site are Churnet (56 km), Peak District grit (71 km), and Shipley Glen (132 km).
Is it too wet to climb at Forest Rock 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 the Met Office's forecast and how fast the rock dries, and it's updated through the day. Nobody checks the rock in person, so touch the holds before you climb.
How long does Forest Rock take to dry after rain?
We don't have Forest Rock's rock type on record, so the model dries it slower than granite or limestone, to err on the wet side. 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 11 hours of dry weather, most of the forest about 18 hours, and shaded ones about 25 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 Forest Rock when the rock is wet?
Wet rock is slick, and pockets and cracks seep for days. If the holds feel greasy, come back later.
