B Deleted_Beck Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Howdy I gather that generally speaking, about this time in the season, die Nordwand is rapidly losing value.. given that we're in the middle of our second high-snow year in a row, and that temps have been staying very consistently sub-frozen up there, do you supposed it'll still be a quality climb into early May? What am I looking at for a last-chance date range, this year, do you suppose? I'm probably gonna accept a job offer next week, slashing my climbing schedule availability down to the-occasional-weekend.. and I'm having to think critically about what routes I can realistically tick this year.. "all of them" just isn't going to happen, now. Thanks -Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaredSilly Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 There might have been a pebble or two but nothing that was of concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
