Tim Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 where can you climb in WA right now without freezing your ass off? How is Vantage??? Quote
klenke Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 I'd wait till this cold snap snaps if you want warmer temperatures. I was up at 6,300 feet today and it was very cold. Maybe something like 15F (0F with windchill) at that altitude. Seems to be a large pressure gradient across the Cascades right now making things, at times, uncomfortably windy. Quote
Tim Posted November 7, 2003 Author Posted November 7, 2003 I can't wait....must climb....help.... Â Quote
erik Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 sez vantage is gonna be in the 40's and sunny. so that makes it feel like 50 degrees. thats your best best. Â Â Quote
Distel32 Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 cold weather is the best time to climb, go to squamish, and yes squamish is in fact a part of washington.......so is smith Quote

Szyjakowski Posted November 7, 2003 Posted November 7, 2003 today- index was warm in the sun and the wind was tolerable... as long as you weren't a few pitches off the deck. Quote

Just give up on the idea that you don't want to leave WA and follow the hoardes to Smith for a fun weekend of climbing that is way better than Vantage choss. Quote
