The boulders have had roughly 18 hours of dry weather following 7.2mm of rain on April 12, with moderate wind aiding surface drying. While rhyolite dries relatively quickly and the surface may be dry on exposed faces, the persistently high humidity (80%) and lack of strong sun mean sheltered or north-facing surfaces could still be damp — a visual check on arrival is essential before committing to climb.
Based on weather conditions only — does not cover bird nesting restrictions or other access issues.
