Climbing Conditions Report

Conditions Report by Climbing Rangers: 2/7/2025

CONDITIONS REPORT:

Hey fam, the weather on the Eastside is flip-flopping faster than a slippery politician! 🌦️ Buckle up to ride things out for the next two days—rain is in the forecast tonight and tomorrow, with wind advisories in effect until Friday evening. Higher elevations can expect rain to turn to snow, so some accumulation is likely.
But don’t worry—sunny skies return this weekend! ☀️ Highs will be in the 50s, making for prime conditions to get back outside and enjoy the Eastside. Stay safe, stay stoked, and keep an eye on those changing conditions!
Buttermilks: 
Some snow is accumulating, and road conditions are expected to get worse with the erosion and precipitation. Take it slow and don’t get stuck!
Tablelands: 
The weekend will most likely be busy. There has been some bee activity in the Sad’s specifically around the French Press area. This cold snap may calm them down, but bee aware with dogs and children, and bring your epi pens if you are allergic.
Pine Creek: 
Snow and cold over the next couple of days. We will let you know how much accumulation the road gets, but the sunny crags may be melted out and climbable next week.
ORG: 
Be careful on those river crossings. Levels have been changing rapidly. Windy conditions expected. Significant rainfall also increases rockfall potential over the edge of the gorge, so be cautious and wear helmets.
Weekend Events:
Saturday — Climbers Coffee at the Central Gorge parking lot from 9-11am.
Sunday— Buttermilk Stewardship before MoBiBo 10 am-12pm (snacks and coffee provided!)
Please be kind to one another. See you all out there!
