Serpentine ridge question

[skibum1087]

I see in the forecast that they are calling for showers until monday morning in the Leavenworth area, and then clear during the afternoon and evening. I was wondering how quickly the 5.8 crack pitches are known to dry out on this route, I am planning on climbing it on tuesday, and would rather not wait till wendsday because tuesday has the better forecast. Also, I was planning on bringing my normal rack up to a number three Camalot, anything out of the ordinary I should add? Thanks a lot for any input.

The route will be in the shade until later in the afternoon if that helps.

the .8 pitch oughta be dry by then - it just takes smallish nuts i recall - mostly the route is a 4th-low 5th simulclimb

I would bet the route dryes out within a day of a rain storm. a little wetness may exist but only add to the required alpine feel. make sure it didn't snow up high which persist longer.

 

Feel good at simu climbing or else be ready to pitch out some 13 odd pitches.
