The RAC Boulders are currently wet and conditions are unsuitable for climbing. An extended period of heavy rainfall (over 40mm in the last 7 days, 160mm in the last 28 days), ongoing rain today with 8.7mm forecast, and near-100% humidity throughout mean the rock will be saturated on the surface with no drying opportunity. The forecast shows continuous rain for at least the next 5 days.
Based on weather conditions only — does not cover bird nesting restrictions or other access issues.
