For a more accurate measure of how condensed the rock will be I think you need to look at; air temperature, relative humidity, air pressure (these three are what determine the dew point), rock temperature, wind speed and direction.
Put all this together and you can understand phenomena like limestone caves condensing the day after a temperature spike. You can also imagine creating a mathematical model that is a relatively robust predictor for conditions on any given day, but it's going to be a lot more complex than a toy hygrometer, and no more reliable than going by feel on your warm up.

I've been contemplating a project where you'd build little remote sensing stations that'd gather data from key crags around the peak. You'd then use that data to predict conditions at the crag on a given day, work out when's the optimal time to go for your last burn of the day, predict seepage etc.
The average YouTuber with a million subscribers makes about $5000 a month.
I dunno, I can feel when it is sticky or not. Don't really think a measuring device other than the skin is necessary..
What with climbing being in the olympics and all that I’m sure we can swing some extra ££. Anyway - in Ondranews I see from his IG that he now has 250k YouTube subscribers... plucked from google I found this:Quote The average YouTuber with a million subscribers makes about $5000 a month.So that might explain a bit of the funding model...
If his numbers are anything like lattice he'll be making a lot more than £1k/month with 250k subscribers.

Hardly seems worth the effort and stress?
Having someone follow you on a boulder problem with a fan is so passé, looks like the new cool is to have a lackey on a rope following you up the route with a fan
I hear the tiniest violin on Earth playing for Ondra, who had only 515 actual days on the route on 44 spent climbing in Spain
Yes he's pretty whiny at times but part of the reason he's the world's best climber is that he cares so much and every little thing matters.
