Hi all,

Staying in the San Vito area, with rain  heading in. Can anyone recommend wet weather venues (caves?) up to about 7a. All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Gwain.

Get on Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, stays dry and probably give you a whole days entertainment!

Thanks Jim, looks like a fun day ahead. Much appreciated.  

In reply to Gwain:

Mini-roof (7a+) & some of the other easier cave routes (of the 2 caves & bunker area) could be worth a shout

We climbed on Never Sleeping Wall

. . and Crown of Aragon

... in pretty damp conditions. Both excellent!

We had the same problem similar time last year, crown of aragon was fine in the rain. And has some brilliant lines!

The amazing cave called something like forgotten wall? Would also be fine but the approach is maybe too dangerous in the rain? 

Never sleeping wall didnt work for us cos of the humidity but it looks amazing! It wasnt raining when we went there tho just mega high humidity! 

Fingers crossed the rain never appears

Thanks for all the suggestions, we managed to dodge the showers today, hopefully it will brighten up. Happy climbing folks.
