Just got back from 11 day trip just north of SGN area and, just as last year at this time, the weather was clear and cold (lows -10 to -6 C) and most importantly, very stable. Seems like winter is the best time to climb in the area. Perfect for ice climbng and we were also able to do multi-day mixed and rock routes. Other climbers have been rained and snowed off in March and August. I will update the section accordingly. Bob
