Light but persistent rain over recent days and intermittent showers today mean the boulders are likely damp, with poor friction on the rhyolite surfaces. Tomorrow brings 12mm of rain, so conditions are not improving imminently.
Based on weather conditions only — does not cover bird nesting restrictions or other access issues.
