Tips for skipping rain while in the wild?

Solution 1:

It looks like the best way to skip rain is to attempt to make a fire under an overhang or find one:

Best thing you can do is make a campfire under an overhang, or find one already active, and sit beside it.

A lot of forums, such as this one recommend the upgraded climbing gear if you want to try and climb in the rain. You can apparently jump, slide down some, jump, slide down some, repeat to still progress while its raining.

The trick is to climb a bit and then jump, you will slide down to where you were before jumping. The climbing set will help with this since you'll lose less stamina upon jumping. But nothing I found so far stops you from sliding down a bit.

The linked Reddit above also states the same thing:

If you get the full Climbing gear set, and upgrade it to the point of having the set bonus, "rain climbing" aka climbing 5 steps up, jumping, sliding down, climbing 5 up, jumping, sliding down, rinse, lather, repeat, will get you progress, and you can still get up a fairly large number of cliffs that way if you have already upgraded your Stamina wheel a fair bit.
