Before you go
Salazar after rain
Salazar: boulders high in the mountains, in State of Mexico, Mexico. The nearest other areas here are Mineral del Chico (117 km).
Is Salazar dry today?
The answer at the top of this page comes from ECMWF'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 Salazar take to dry after rain?
We don't have Salazar'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, tuned on Fontainebleau sandstone and not checked here. After a proper soaking (2 mm of rain or more), sunny, windy boulders need about 11 hours of dry weather, most of the boulders about 18 hours, and shaded ones about 25 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 Salazar when the rock is wet?
Wet rock is slick, and pockets and cracks seep for days. If the holds feel greasy, come back later.
