kadyakerbob Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 anyone know the conditions on dragontail? would it be worth climbing this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Probably. Chances are the best conditions are going to be comming up next weekend once it starts getting cold again. The current weather as forcast looks like exactly what climbers want to set up great conditions. I would bet the TCs will be good and N. Face of colonial is going to look good next week also. Just a guess, but If you are looking to get out in the mountains these next two weekends might be the best available, with second weekend being the prime.

Â Colonial will be a wallow this weekend unless the freezing level drops. Maybe next week... maybe... Â If you need snowshoes/skis on the approach to Colonial the face isn't in.

Alasdair Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Yes you will need snowshoes anywhere you are this weekend, but I really do think conditions are going to set up quite nice in the next couple of weeks. Things look good, and I think all those people bitching about shitty weather should get off their asses and go climb something in the next couple of weeks. Oh and we are going to see some real nice cold weather next week which will make shit really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kadyakerbob Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 thanks guys, i think i am going to tyr the TC's, i called the leavenworth climbing shop and they say the snow is consolidated and its freezing good at night. Since the TC's are in the shade most of the day i think it will be prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Washington Cascade snow levels (typically near Snoqualmie Pass) are normally midway between indicated N and S levels. Note that surface snow/freezing levels are common near the passes during easterly pass flow and may result in multiple snow/freezing levels.
