I'm sure there will be routes you can climb on the Roaches in March. I just can't say which ones on which days!

Upper tier should be mostly fine I'd have thought? Lower Tier around Valkyrie anyones guess but I would suggest a bit green. Might be fine though. In any case the boulders will be ok so worth a trip

Off topic but anyone know how wet the roaches are at the minute? Trying to convince myself that it won't rain tomorrow and I can get out on the grit...

green is not a problem at the roaches as long as the rock is dry

It's been dry today but there's snow forecast for later tonight and on and off over the weekend!

Roaches is a year-round crag. Doesn't stay damp at all (unless you purposefully seek out dark, damp routes in the back of gullies).
