Looking for some dry bouldering not too far from Glasgow. Looking like it's going to be wet the next week or so tried searching online but can't seem to find any caves or sheltered spots. Open to sheltered sport or trad aswell. Just don't want to turn and all the holds are seeping or soaked.

It's February, we’ve had storm Kiara and storm Denis, the BBC forecast currently show up to 2nd March with not a dry day in sight.

If ever there was a time for indoor climbing it is now!

Everdry wall at Dumby?

Train from Glasgow, short walk, caves (ok, under boulders) to shelter under when rain/sleet gets too heavy

Wolfcrag has an uncanny ability to stay relatively dry during rain showers. However I can't say with confidence whether it will be dry after all the storms we've had recently.

Dry bouldering in Glasgow.  That'll be TCA.

Or drips.

For pure shelter on a raging westerly the Bust My Chops wall is probably best. Mugsy cave is good for rain cover but turns into a wind tunnel in a storm - same for Slap Happy with that corridor on the left.

Sometimes you just need to go with something that suits the weather better. Indoor bouldering or go for a run if you want to be outside.

Re your last sentence, watch forecast carefully, and if lucky get train to N Berwick, NB Law sport dries fast and is walkable from station. Some bouldering - may be best to chat up Embra peeps to bring mats tho.

Top of Craigmaddie dries quickly in the wind.
