al Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 As of noon Monday (1/7) there's been 38 hours of above freezing temps, with the last 11 hours of 40+ temps and presumably rain at the 5300' elevation of Alpental. Think this will bring it all down on the routes like Chair and Tooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 warm temps followed by a cold hard freeze can make excellent climbing and quick approaches on rock solid snow. only the skiiers will complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al Posted January 8, 2002 Author Share Posted January 8, 2002 That's a lot of hours of warm rain. Will any ice be left up there, is my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
