Weather

Summary: Full sun but chilly. Starting off and hiking in, temps will be consistently 46 degrees or even a bit cooler as we get up there, like 44 degrees. Winds will be moderate starting at 7mph and increasing to 10-12 mph. During the climb, it'll be about 43 degrees, but hopefully the route will be full sun and hopefully the ridge will block the wind.
