TuesdayNightClimbing

31 August -- Black and White Rocks

2010-08-30T02:21:46Z

The forecast for Tuesday is for hot and sunny, without a hint of rain. It's hard to imagine a bigger contrast from last week!

24 August -- Hardy Mountain (Red Rocks)

2010-08-23T11:38:09Z

The forecast is for a 70% chance of rain, so it's not looking good. Stay tuned, though.

17 August -- College Rock

2010-08-16T20:06:50Z

The weather service says sunny and mid-80's for Tuesday. Sunset is around 7:40, though, so don't work late!

10 August -- Stage Fort Park

2010-08-09T01:07:19Z

This Tuesday we head back to Gloucester for Stage Fort Park. (I was wrong last week when I suggested that we were done with the more distant locations for the rest of the season.) The weather doesn't sound so promising, though: They are predicting a 40% chance of showers for the afternoon. We do need the rain, but keep your fingers crossed that it holds off long enough; we also need the climbing!

3 August -- Waitts Mountain Park

2010-08-02T01:01:18Z

It's August, and so we're back to the "near North Shore" locations, starting (and ending) with Waitts Mountain Park. The weather forecast predicts a chance of showers in the evening, but the day is supposed to be non-rainy, though humid.

27 July -- Den Rock

2010-07-26T00:48:43Z

Sunny and upper 80's, with winds gusting to 20 MPH, which ought to help keep the bugs away. Could be a replay of last week, but without the driving.

20 July -- Hardy Mountain (Red Rocks)

2010-07-19T02:41:19Z

The forecast is for highs in the mid-80s, with no mention of rain. Yet.

13 July -- Hammond Pond, pond area

2010-07-12T01:42:00Z

Partly sunny, humid, highs in the 80's. We could wish for better, I suppose, but it could be worse. At least it's pretty shady there by the pond.

6 July -- Chelmsford Quarry

2010-07-05T03:16:31Z

The weather looks like it's going to be really hot on Tuesday. To make matters more interesting, neither I nor Tom B. (the local betamaster, who talked me in to putting CQ on the schedule in the first place) is going to be able to make it. This was supposed to be something of an adventure, to boldly climb where no climber has gone before and all that, but we all have our limits. So if you guys want to decide to go somewhere else instead, and postpone Chelmsford for another night, that would be perfectly fine. I'll be incommunicado for the next 48 hours, so please let me know how it goes.

29 June -- Stage Fort Park

2010-06-27T23:50:04Z

The weather service says upper 70's and a 40% chance of showers, but it sounds like the POP ought to be concentrated mostly in the morning. Keep your fingers crossed.

22 June -- College Rock

2010-06-21T14:47:07Z

The weather looks good for Tuesday at College Rock -- mostly sunny and mid-80's. Let's just hope the bugs aren't too bad.

15 June -- Hardy Mountain (Red Rocks)

2010-06-14T23:10:00Z

Yay, it'll be sunny and high 60's in Gloucester tomorrow. Boo, I can't make it, due to a prior engagement. If somebody who goes posts a comment or drops me an email, I'd appreciate knowing how it turned out.

8 June -- Black and White Rocks

2010-06-08T03:01:00Z

Seventy degrees, no rain in sight, keep fingers crossed.

2 June (WED) -- Quincy Quarries

2010-06-01T02:07:29Z

OK, now it's really going to be QQ on Wednesday. The weather looks like it's going to be sunny, high around 80, with light winds. But it's still pretty far out of the way for me, and a busy week besides, so I don't think I'll be able to make it.

25 May -- Stage Fort Park

2010-05-24T00:34:15Z

Oops; guess who thought Memorial Day was this Monday. We usually climb on Wednesday after three-day weekends, and after Memorial Day in particular we usually go to the Quincy Quarries, but I goofed and would have sent us to QQ a week early.

So I swapped the next two weeks' venues, and put them on the customary days. As a result, we are going to Stage Fort Park on the usual Tuesday this week, and next week is QQ on Wednesday. Sorry for the confusion.

At least the weather should be decent. The forecast is for sunny and mid-80's, just the sort of day you want to spend climbing near the beach. The only other thing I could ask for is a little sea breeze to keep the bugs away (the wind will actually be from the west), but I'll settle for sunny and dry.
