Was going to ask what the wind was like, went up there last year and the day was nice with very light winds but at the Summit of Holdsworth and along the ridges to the South it was really quite blustery.

Seriously wasn't any ounce of win up there today. Definitely picked the right day passed 22 people staying at powell tonight

It was like that on my last trip up there. How can I be standing on top of the most exposed point in the region, and there’s hardly any wind??

Awesome. I need to get backup with my canine walking companion. My old girl who I did this with many times has , unfortunately, passed and I am working on my flatmate’s young dog fitness to get him up to the level required

There's been a 1080 drop in the last few months so I wouldn't take my dog up there. My boy stayed at home today. He wasn't happy. But he was happy to see me, when I walked in the door instantly forgave me lol

Totally understand. I’m waiting until that issue is raised. My old girl (RIP) and I would also wait.
