Bouldering partner: Thursday, May 14th

I'll be in Estes Park from Wed 5/13 through Sunday 5/17. But it looks like the only decent weather for bouldering will be Thursday the 14th.

I was hoping to take a stab at some moderates in Lower Chaos. Anybody around that's interested?

Just a heads up, came down past lake Haiyaha maybe a week ago descending off of Hallett and the snow was DEEP. With the weather we've had the past couple of days I wouldn't count on it being much better. On the plus side you may not need pads but you'd better bring a shovel!

Eric --

Thanks for the heads up.

And crap. :)

I've been wanting to come to RMNP for years, and I picked the wrong time of year I guess. Any other places I could go as a backup? I'll be staying in Estes Park Wed (today) -Monday.

Afraid the last few weeks have dumped a ton of snow on the high country, last month you would have been fine in lower chaos or Emerald.

Carter and Horsetooth are both options, but I was at Carter yesterday it was a bit buggy, muddy, and damp. I find HT to be even muddier and buggier than Carter.

Best bet may be Poudre/420s or perhaps early morning/late day for temps in Eldo. Unfortunately you've hit the wettest stretch we've had in a while.

Well, crap. :) Me and the family just rolled into Estes Park, so driving back down to Ft Collins is quit a hike. Ah well. I guess I'll just be hiking this week ... and hanging out at the climbing gym in Estes :)

Thanks for the help, guys.

Go do Skyscraper above all the snow. It's good practice for a true summer send ;)
