Oh... but i agree with shear. you can climb at Tierany Wall without a shirt in 40 degrees if it's sunny. Cheers!
Man - I grew up in the smokies ... I am looking forward to being back in a place with four seasons! I love cold weather climbing, you stick better on those hard moves.

Good idea to not bring all the trad gear, think I will just bring draws and a few cams.

Thanks for all the areas, will look over the guide this weekend.

my quick look at the guide shows some nice mixed routes, just keeping options open!
