JB Thatcher Question - Winter (Rock) Climbing

I'll be traveling north on 87 from Roxbury NY this Sunday (Gunks and P-linez are therefore out)

With high temps of about 40 and some sun, could the east facing area near Hailes Cave prove comfortable to climb?

Low temperatures are not really a problem but:

  • How is getting down to the climbing area in winter / do you need crampons or microspikes in the vicinity of the squeezbox?
  • Are the routes in ok shape near Lucifugus / should i expect a lot of ice and falling rock in addition to the rock that is still cleaning up?
  • Does the park care if people climb off-season?
Thanks for the input, it'd be great to get some pitches with the skiing looking a little mediocre and there are probably a few too many miles to get up to Deadwater with my typical version of an alpine start.

Climbing is closed for the season. Given that it was a battle to obtain access in the first place, the closure should be respected.
