It has been raining heavily since Monday. Weather reports expect it to last until midday Thursday. No chance of climbing in these conditions and we need at least half a day of sunshine to dry the rocks.

Dead good website with all important informations about Rocklands. I was at Rocklands in march and the weather was much too hot (about 40°). We are burned between the amazing boulders :-). So go there a month or two later and you will discover the best bouldering area i know!!! Falko
