dberdinka Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Yeah ? or Neah ? I'll be relatively close for the holidays and am thinking of making the drive over. I know nothing about the area. Is it climbable this time of year or too cooooold....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Looks like a high in the mid forties with lows below freezing out there this weekend. Bring your handwarmers, that rock will be cold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Should be warm enough by the early afternoon at the Royal Columns if you stay on the routes to climber's right of the main rap gully. That will keep you in the sun most of the day. If you go to The Bend, stay way around to climber's right so you stay in the sun. Temps should be in the mid-40s by early afternoon on T-day, warming to low 50s on Friday. It will get cooler again by the weekend, or so the forecast sez...

joepuryear Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I was at the columns on Sunday - there was little heat from the mostly obscured sun, but it was warm enough to climb. Hand-warmers would have been nice. There was a fair amount of snow at the Bend, it doesn't get as much sun. The Oasis was snow free and gets sun from noon on. The Cave had some snow but looked dry on the left. Lava Point looked dry but the road up there would require a good 4x4. Goose Egg was dry as well. There have been a couple good storms this week but the forecast for the weekend looks good, so south-facing areas lower down the canyon should be good.
