TankMasterFlex Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Some friends and I had our sights set on Rainier, but it doesn't look like weather will cooperate. Anyone have any ideas on where to climb, somewhere within a half day's drive from Seattle? Ice, rock, alpine etc... anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitchaserCJB Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Haven't yet looked at weather but here is what I usually do. Look at the leavenworth weather, marblemount, Index (probably raining if Seattle is rainy) and beyond depending on where you want to go. Good luck.

JoshK Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Some friends and I had our sights set on Rainier, but it doesn't look like weather will cooperate. Anyone have any ideas on where to climb, somewhere within a half day's drive from Seattle? Ice, rock, alpine etc... anything? Current forecast calls for a rather serious douching of pretty much the entire state. A snippet from the Seattle NWS forecast discussion reads: "A SERIES OF WET FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. RAINFALL WITH THESE FRONTS MAY BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES IN THE MOUNTAINS AND ALONG THE COAST." a snippet from the Spokane NWS adds: "THE WEATHER PATTERN IS SETTING UP TO BE VERY WET AND ACTIVE BEGINNING FRIDAY NIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH EARLY MONDAY AS A MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW SET UP OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST." Even the forecast for Vantage, WA which is generally one of the drier areas reads: "Saturday: Rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 68. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Saturday Night: A chance of rain. Cloudy, with a low around 54. Sunday: Showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 69.
