Pretty nice weather. Got hot around noon so we left. Put some time in on Kodas corner and knocked out a lot of easy stuff with my wife.

Kodas is fun but work on getting all four of the arete's including Yabo's. that's a perfect area to hang out at..
happy one year of the Stoney thread!

Funny. The other day for some reason I was looking through my copy of John Sherman's old Hueco Tanks guidebook. I always got a laugh out of this line, in the intro...
ENTERING THE PARK --
As you approach Hueco Tanks from the south, your first glimpse of he rocks will be dissappointing, unless you're from Stoney Point. The park appears to be nothing more than a couple of enormous brown lumps...

hellweg & Fisher's guide is good because of the informative history that it talks about, but totally different from Fry's guide..

According to our Hall Monitor Pyro ^^^ you should stay off it for "5" days. ;) Two rain-free days should dry out the sunny-side rock. Just pull down gently my friends and leave your fumbling flake-yanker friends at home.

i like both apples & oranges. stoney point is sandstone the out side looks dry long before its ready to be climbed on. 3 - 5 days after a deep long rain. year before last it was taking as long as 7 - 8 days to dry out. last year each storm would bring heat & wind, stoney was drying out in 2 days. the rock is too damp today. if it warms up it will be fine sat. if not it will not be.
