CascadeClimber Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I urge you to email Stefan and Dave directly and ask them where the blog updates are now that they got their 40% climbing fee increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougd Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 From Stefan... Yeah, the blog isn't very fresh because the first climbing rangers only started last week. They'll be primarily hiring and bringing on the seasonals, setting up trainings, schedules, and gear for the next month. So there won't likely be very much information for about 3 weeks. Muir is great. Keep an eye on the telemetry. Shoot for a period of solid weather of 2-3 days. Conditions change significantly, daily. It's all snow. Windchill averages about -5 to +5. Temps have been consistently about 15 degrees during the day. Winds 5-40, west. Expect the public shelter to be blown in with drifts of snow, so it's like camping in a snow cave, cold and dark. Expect the toilets to be loaded with snow and be prepared to dig them out! I was up there about 3 weeks ago, and both scenarios was the case. We'll get reports out as soon as we GET out! So, the deal is, they're busy as hell right now so we're on our own pretty much. This is, as it should be I suppose. d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CascadeClimber Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Glad you got a response. That's more than I can say for the last six or so emails I've sent him. I wonder why that info didn't just get posted to the blog, since that would have taken the same amount of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
