Hope they are all ok. NWS is calling for 2-4" of rain in the next day then 8-14" of snow starting Sunday., From the comfort of my couch, Wino Tower looks to be an exposed spot to be in during a winter storm.

Good luck!

Love the talk about portaledges and tents. Let's hear it for standing on
a 6" ledge for 24 hours in a blizzard with a bivy sack draped over you!
No brewing up hot water bottles to put in yer sleeping bag for that!
What's a sleeping bag? Do the Watusi all night long! Woot!

Like Werner said, it's exposed there on Wino Tower.
In a big storm, there could be a lot of water funneled into the wide crack that forms the left side of the Bismark.
It might drain just right of them, or maybe right on top of them.
1-2 inches of rain forecast for tonight, and another 1-2 inches on Friday.
Then less Saturday, and 1-2 inches Sunday.

They should weather this one like it's a night in the park.

It's the next one that's gonna make 'em cry. :0)

Good to hear Pete is feeling so sassy.

Cheers, ya winos!

Drinking alcohol on a wall in even perfect conditions is a fool's mistake.

I know. Only time I did the beer was so warm I had to pour it out after two sips!
That was some serious trauma.

Cragman -

How is it you can post predictions like these :

Soft target extraordinaire.

May make Munich look like a good time.

Don't have a real good feeling about this one.

Two under Obama....the present one, and the big one that is imminent.


That have yet to come to fruition, and then post sh#t like this

I suggested an all-night lead to at least get to Harding Roof. That's 5 pitches.

It took them 3 days on the previous 5 pitches.

Recommended jettisoning the booze.....lightening the load....

Seriously?

You really think it's safer and more sane to lead through the night during a storm hauling a wagon train of sh#t, than to sit comfortably ensconced in a high tech portaledge designed for the very conditions they are experiencing, sipping a beer and waiting until the weather passes.

You are either some kind of prognostic super-genius, or just another armchair wannabe that should probably keep his mouth shut more often.

They are big kids, they'll be fine.
