LostCamKenny Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 All you punks missed a great day out at heaven in the gorge I was very hopeful... ... Notice the trees, how every limb seems to be pointing in the same direction. That's not special effects - that's 70 mph winds! ... so was Justin! Good luck to the ducks in the Rose Bowl... Sorry you jackels couldn't get out today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevetimetravlr Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 so kenny, if you think it was cold when you were climbing this last time, just wait till this weekend, check this out. as of today, record low temp at White Salmon. Special Weather Statement Statement as of 3:35 PM PST on December 03, 2009 ... Significantly colder temperatures will be expected late this weekend into next week... An Arctic air mass will invade the Pacific northwest late this weekend... and remain over the area through the middle of next week. High and low temperatures will be 15 to 20 degrees below normal... with the coldest of these days expected to be Sunday through Tuesday. All areas can expect the possibility of snow showers from time to time... as temperatures will struggle to reach freezing at best in the lower elevations. Cold air trapped in the Columbia Basin and surrounding valleys will likely persist through the later part of next week until the next weather system is expected to arrive. Please monitor the latest forecasts and statements from the National Weather Service or your local media outlets for more detailed information.

JosephH Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Karsten (Texplorer) and I did YW over the Christmas holiday a couple of years ago when the temp was 25 degrees with a pretty brisk east wind. We were outfitted appropriately so while a bit chilly on the tips at times and belaying, it was otherwise a great day. You just have to be geared right for it.

kevbone Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 As long as we are having a pissing contest..... I similclimbed the entire corner about 8 years ago with Ken (crazy Ken). Snow on ever ledge and the sun shinning.....I dont think it got about 0 degrees with the wind chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevetimetravlr Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Beacon seems a great training ground for alpine ascents. The temps with the rowdy winds, and the train going by is like the thunder of avalanches or rockfall in the distance, yeah thats it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
