landoclimb Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Looking for an experienced partner to go up the north face with me. We would start Friday night/Saturday morning ish. Just a quick trip up to start the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBo6 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I'm sure you are keeping an eye on it, but the weather forecast is looking pretty abysmal for this weekend with 8-15 inches of snow forecasted at 9K feet Saturday night to Sunday as well as winds into the 40s.

JasonG Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 One thing to keep in mind with more challenging routes is to have some breathing room on the back end of your itinerary in case something goes wrong, or the weather comes in quicker than forecast. If the closes down for a few days after you are slated to be done it could prove problematic to mount a rescue. I know you are young and invincible, but..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found someone to go craging with me by the drips up there. The window seemed too narrow and the wind would have blew anyways. I’ll post about the conditions and what I observe tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Sounds perfect. They'll be more opportunities when conditions are better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
