Mountain Condition report for Sept 21/06
Not that many reports coming in lately.
A period of colder than average weather and
precipitation has amounted up to 20cm's of new snow
above 8000ft. Below 8000ft most new snow has melted
off.
The main concern right now is probably the new snow
that is thinly covering and hiding the late season
crevasses. It was a warm/ dry summer season and there
are many crevasses that are open were there usually
isn't.
Another concern in the next few days will be rockfall
with the forcasted warm weather coming this weekend.
Be aware when traveling under cliffs for the next few
days as the snow melts off.
This could be the last spell of good weather coming up
and the rock should dry off after a day or two, so
have fun.
