Caseg Fraith is currently saturated after a prolonged wet spell — nearly 160mm over the last 28 days with significant rain today (7.1mm) and no meaningful dry window ahead. The rock will be wet and slippery, and the entire five-day forecast shows continued rainfall with high humidity, making dry conditions extremely unlikely.
