Before you go
Best time to climb at Iperocks, month by month
Iperocks (Floresta Encantada) after rain
Iperocks: sandstone boulders in the forest, in São Paulo, Brazil.
Is Iperocks dry today?
The answer at the top of this page comes from ECMWF's forecast and how fast sandstone dries, and it's updated through the day. Nobody checks the rock in person, so touch the holds before you climb.
How long does Iperocks take to dry after rain?
Iperocks is sandstone, which soaks up rain and stays weak inside for a while after the surface looks dry. 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 18 hours of dry weather, most of the forest about 30 hours, and shaded ones about 42 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 Iperocks when the rock is wet?
Wet sandstone breaks. If a hold feels cool or damp, leave it for another day.
