The Red in DEC

Post by **mmoschetto** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 4:49 pm

Everyone keeps telling me its a long shot, but I REALLY want to climb at the Red in Dec!

I'll be leaving the north east during the first week of Dec and i'll be hanging around down there as long as i can find partners and dry weather!

If anyone will be there braving the cold and wants to meet up it would be so great!!!

Thanks people!

and by suffer he means being eaten by ravenous wolves.

december is wolf season, or, as the locals call it, Saison de Loups. your chance of being eaten increases by 73-77% depending on wolf hunger.

Try it but be willing to pack up and drive south to other locations.

There is no climbing to be done here from Dec 1st to March 1st.

go somewhere else.

even on the warmest days, the moisture from the ground/snow clings to the cold rock. you can see water dripping from every overhung hold in the region.
