Do people have general advice about climbing then (especially w.r.t. the weather)? Any special stuff I should bring or route recommendations? Thanks, Paul Could be great weather for climbing. But be prepared for snow...potentially lots of it. I have been chased out of Titcomb Basin by feet of snow in early September. If you didn't have the right clothes and gear for that, it could be, eh, unpleasant. |

I'll be in the Cirque that week, holler if you want some beta. Hiking in on Sunday. |

The first snow usually flies around labor day, plus or minus a week, but that storm is also 'usually' sandwiched between long dry spells with perfect weather. If you are in the middle of a long high pressure it can be perfect and no bugs and fewer people. |

I went to East Fork in mid-September once and it was climbable, but chilly. 20 degrees or so at night & you had to climb in the sun. |

We have a trip planned to the Cirque starting next weekend and were wondering if anyone had been up there in the last week or so and could provide information on conditions. Thanks. |
