AlpineK Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I've lived in the PNW for quite a while, and yeah June is often a let down. Quote
G-spotter Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 It pretty much always rains a lot in June. Squamish dries out a bit in April and May, then again in mid-July. Quote

Stefan Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 If you let weather dictate your life in this area...then you won't climb a lot. Quote
mattp Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I don't know, Stefan. If I was hoping to climb something big I think I'd consider the forecast this weekend. Quote
counterfeitfake Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 If you let weather dictate your life in this area...then you won't climb a lot. Â Why does someone always feel they have to say this when we've got a good weather gripe session going on? Â 1. Oh, hey, I guess the weather can be unpredictable and sketchy here. You have probably unlocked some deep truth here the rest of us didn't understand. And you're tougher than us. 2. No shit. 3. If you don't let weather dictate your life, you will die on a mountain in a storm. Quote

Stefan Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I don't know, Stefan. If I was hoping to climb something big I think I'd consider the forecast this weekend. Â you might have to alter your plans....but you can still climb something. Any weekend called off for weather is a wasted weekend you will never get back in your life. Â Â Quote
