Wow.. I'm surprised to see it so cool this early. The opposite of last year. |

Would any route on the Chief, namely Sunset Strip or Grand Wall or Borderline be unclimbable? Seepage? |

Seepage?- theres a good chance of frost/dew in the morning leading to some possibly dicey slab moves - there may be frozen seepage - the sun hits the grand wall around 2PM these days, the sun sets at 4 PM ... 2 hours of sun on the route - the temps will be close to freezing before and after the sun is on the rock the grand has been climbed every month of the year ... the question is are you ready to climb a decent amount of it in the shade at near freezing temps with possible ice on the route ... and are you ready to climb in the dark in winter if you cant finish by ~4 PM or so ... a double or tag line might be prudent if you need to bail the choice is yours the malamute is a good winter short multi crag ;) |

Sounds like a good time to travel to the Rambles for ice :) |
