Salvanebleau after rain

Salvanebleau: conglomerate boulders in open country, in Catalonia, Spain. The nearest other areas here are Cabrera d'Anoia (26 km), L'Espunyola (35 km) and Corbera de Llobregat (39 km).

Is Salvanebleau dry today?

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

How long does Salvanebleau take to dry after rain?

Salvanebleau is conglomerate. 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 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 Salvanebleau when the rock is wet?

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