Winter Sandstone Conditions
December 15, 2009, 08:55:12 pm
Im not sure if im asking too much but I wondered if any of the southern sandstone has a habit of being dry after a period of dry weather over winter? Im coming home for xmas and dont want to have to suffer the rock withdrawal symptoms.
I was thinking the most likely options would be north boulder, that bit by eridge car park, some parts of high rocks and maybe stone farm? I've heard bowles can be dry as well?

They sound like the best bets but apparently we had 184% of the normal average rainfall in Nov & it feels like more

Good luck & bring your pad as its a high one. It will probably be wet as too. If it's wet move down the road and get involved in the shit on Fandango wall at Bowles.
