Chattanooga Conditions for Feb. 13-15?

Post by Barnacle Ben »

Are there any Chattanooga locals in the house? We are trying to plan a trip this weekend, and it looks like the forecast went to hell this morning. We are hoping to hit up LRC and Twall. What's it looking like down there?

Tried LRC two weeks ago and a snowstorm the previous night made most of it unclimbable. Looks like the same thing this weekend, but I'm hoping an enlightened local can tell me it's actually sunny and warm down there and I won't be stuck going to the gym this weekend...Please!

Also, if anyone has good back up plan ideas, holler them at me. So far, I have thought of (a) go to the gym or (b) fly to Thailand.

Actually LRC was stellar on Saturday. Pretty good crowd there too. I guess it had snowed a little on Friday, but everything was dry by Saturday around noon. Really good friction.

We also looked at HP40; I think Alabama and Georgia got the brunt of that storm. But yeah, we got snowed out yesterday, and I'm sitting here looking at 6 inches of snow on the ground right now. Can't say I blame you for making it a gym weekend!

Bummer -- we missed out on Saturday b/c we were at HP, and then tried LRC on Sunday, and it didn't look good at all. Climbed one route at Leda on Sunday...
