Re: Snowstorm in the Elk Range
North Maroon and South Maroon as well as Pyramid have a bit more snow today from yesterday. The lower half of the route on North Maroon looks dry up until about 13000 after which you have a bit of snow.

Re: Snowstorm in the Elk Range
I am guessing that Forbins is right and it will probably melt, but any update from Oldschool on Capitol and the saddle?
VERY EXCITED for the weekend.

Re: Snowstorm in the Elk Range
I'm interested in any updates on the Bells/traverse, as well.

Re: Snowstorm in the Elk Range
i thought that was a little personal for a forum post. ha! but hell - i just figured you were cool like that. Everyone poops! But anyway - I hope you get Pyramid. I'd be up there in a second but I'm booked the next two week. September 2013 didn't even come close to September 2012 - I remember three amazing weather weekends last year.SilverLynx wrote:In all honesty I don't have IBS, I'm just extremely frustrated at how this September has played out - nada. And I'd really like to do Pyramid next weekend but as of yet I do not have a climbing partner and I'm not okay with doing it by myself. This weekend I am busy but I would love to get over to the Elk Range next week or weekend for some fall foliage action... A Saturday Elk climb followed by a Sunday just romping and taking pictures in the Twin Lakes area (Mt. Elbert) would make me happy.forbins_mtn wrote:that sucks! i assumed with this weather you guys would have been up there. hope you feel better! i'm sure we'll meet on the mountain someday.SilverLynx wrote:Looks like Capitol will have to wait for next summer.

We can only hope October turns out to be beautiful!
