Anyone happen to know the current conditions on the Pinnacle climb? I was thinking about getting up there this weekend but I saw that is it reported that there is currently 3" of ice/snow at the summit observatory. Wondering if anybody knew of how it was on the climb itself?
Thanks!

Based on what I saw driving through Pinkham Notch yesterday, there is snow in Huntingtons. I can't say how much or whether it will be there this coming weekend though. Looked to me like elevations above 3000 feet were getting snow Sunday night and yesterday morning.

this website will have the latest and greatest. Can't imagine pinnacle would be 'in' yet. But who knows. The report is usually done weekly, so I would imagine there would be an update tomorrow.

I think he means the Pinnacle rock climb, not Pinnacle gully ice.

At this point, both are probably wet and icy.

I was up there two weekends ago in the pouring rain. No snow as of then, but we did finish up the regular Huntington route in full on rain. Pinnacle wasnt going to happen.
