Cobrien1125 Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Im heading up the South Side route tonight at midnight. I'm new to the whole game and am going with another climber who is somewhat experienced. Any recent reports? Ok conditions? Quote
ivan Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 forecast for a chance of showers/snow up there tonight through tomorrow, w/ a worsening forecast into saturday, so don't be surprised if it gets super shitty and/or you can't see a thing - you got a plan for navigating back down through soup? if so and you're comfortable w/ it, enjoy and see how high you get! http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Government+Camp&state=OR&site=PQR&textField1=45.3042&textField2=-121.754&e=0 Quote
Water Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 btw timberline has recorded 8 inches of snow in the last 24hrs, 10inches in the last 72hrs: http://www.nwac.us/weatherdata/timberlinebase/now/ current conditions: http://www.timberlinelodge.com/conditions/ side note: when is goddamn summer going to start Quote
Cobrien1125 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks! I will make sure to re-arrange plans. It looks like sunday night/monday morning might be better for my first ascent. Does this make more sense? Quote
billbob Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Just got off the phone w/ Fred Beckey, he was coming down here today to climb Hood via the Wy'East but decided the weather was too crappy. Maybe Sun/Mon if the current forecast holds and if new snowfall is light. Wise words from the man who did the FA of Yocum Ridge. Quote
iain Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Good powder conditions on the north side. 30-40 cm with the wind in some lee areas. Quote
