Dragontail Conditions

[coldiron]

I'm interested in climbing the NE Couloir later this week(Wed. or Thurs.). The forecast looks good, I'm just wondering what the weather has been over the past week. Any observations? How much snow is on the approach? I am looking for a partner too, so if you're keen to climb it, PM me.

See the NE couloir thread. It has conditions from Sunday. Things need to get much cooler. It was way warm up there yesterday.

Thanks for the update. NWS is calling for lows in the 20's for the next three days, and I'm hoping that's enough to bring it back into condition. From what you saw on Sunday, do you think 3 or 4 days of cold weather will do it?

Two or three days of cold nights could make for really good conditions again. If it's wet in the lower gully then I'd probably skip it as things didn't seem to improve much with height gain.
