chris Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 It is dry. And hot. Seriously, its looking like, and feeling like, a typical July.. The lower Owens Valley has already reached 100 degree F on multiple days. I've driven over Tioga Pass three times already, and there only route I can see with some snow to block climbing is the N buttress on Tenaya. I've climbed Langley and Whitney these last 10 days, and there is no snow on either routes. On Whitney, the E face and E Butt are as dry as a bone. The Mountaineers route still has a patch of snow up high, but you avoid it easily coming up and down. no ice axe or crampons required. I'm heading into Williamson and Tyndall on Wednesday, and will post more when I get back. Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
