AJScott Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Would it be wise to try and climb the N. Face this weekend? I just read that freezing level for sat. night will be at 14500! Has anyone seen what the face looks like? Any info/pictures would be appreciated AJScott Quote
Mo_Up Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Shit yeah. I recommend doing it in shorts and a ball cap. Make sure it's a warm ballcap though. Quote
JoshK Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Well, I think only you can answer the quesion about it being wise or not. I, personally, dont tend to enjoy steep snow climbing when it's 85 degrees out, but that is just my opinion. While cold conditions dont nescessarily mean no chance for serac fall, icefall, etc. I would certainly think that warm weather can increase the chances greatly. Quote
AJScott Posted July 23, 2004 Author Posted July 23, 2004 I have decided to go out and get some rock instead...thanks for the input. I've already almost been swept down to price lake off the north face this year...Probably just wait for next year. I am just so frustated that we turned around that time...I want to get back there, and get up that route, its purdy. Quote
JoshK Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I obviously dont know the story, but I wouldn't be frustrated that you turned around on the same trip you almost got swept down to price lake. Sounds like whatever happened was a good reason to turn around. In any event, I think you are a making a good choice. The route will be there, just wait until you get some nice conditions so you can enjoy good fun neve instead of dangerous annoying slop. Quote
