miker Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 What is the *&%$*&% Deal. I check all the weather sites and possible climbing runs for the weekend and they all show rain. No rain on Thursday or Friday, then Rain on Saturday and Sunday, Then sunny and nice again on Monday. ARRGGGHHHH!!! Darrington-wet Squamish-Wet North Bend-Wet The always dry fallback Leavenworth.....WET Any ideas from anyone as to where I can go that I will not be washed off the rock? I know that the weather changes here so often I should just wait for a few hours and check again, but it does not look good. Maybe I'll practice ascending up to my ceiling fan and back down... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wopper Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 If you don't mind choss and camping in an environment similar to a Wal-Mart parking lot try the forecast for Vantage. Or you could try Tieton River. It is over near Yakima(drier weather) and more appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Clarke Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 One word says it all.........Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted July 26, 2001 Author Share Posted July 26, 2001 Yakima is rainy Vantage is Rainy Well Redmond shows 72 and partly cloudy....hmmmm So maybe Smith is the way to go. But the drive from Everett will kill me. Maybe a carpool? Still must discuss with wife, but please tell me if you are interested in a day or two at Smith this fine weekend. mike "flailing blindly" reddig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvs Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 It is documented that the Irish have bad weather on weekends due to U.S. east coast smog produced during the work week. This sucks for them! Perhaps we're getting some of this from Asia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Maybe Hawaii gets it from Asia and we get it from Hawaii? Maybe it's all caused by the nuclear missile defence lasers??? The mind boggles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvs Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 If it helps, I've ignored the rain forecast for Leavenworth 3 times this year, and been rewarded with partly cloudy skies once I get there. Dru, I can't stop looking at that GIF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_a Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Grab your skis and go high this weekend, snow level 7000 ft, that means late July freshies up on the Muir Snowfield, Russell glacier, assorted spots up by Baker and Rainier. Hang up the rope and shoes for a weekend and grab the boards, this is a gift take advantage of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Weather might be OK on the east slope... I often get lucky in Leavenworth or Vantage with this kind of forecast. If you don't want to drive to Smith, you might check out Skaha... it's not the most stimulating climbing around, but a little closer to Seattle & less obnoxious a scene, and can be dry when it's wet everywhere else.
