Mountain Beta

by Trawinski » Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:26 pm

I was hoping a more experienced SPer could tell me where to find recent mountain beta on the more popular mountains on this website, if it indeed exists. Back when I hiked up Whitney I used the Whitney Portal Store's forum to get lots of good intel on current conditions. Does SP have anything like that for the more popular destinations where, no doubt, at least a few SPers visit in any given month? I don't see anything in the Forum section that seems focused on that. Any help?

Thanks!

For very popular mountains you can always check the summit logs for recent signings. Folks often mention conditions in their summit logs or you can reach out to them for additional information. This approach is, admittedly, hit or miss, however, as many people visit this site but don't sign the logs.

Good luck!
