Hey Marmot - maybe we'll have a chance to meet as well! Looking forward to it.
Cy, you may be right, but I'm trying to hit the bottom of the temperature curve. If I start at 5:00, it should be around 85.
If I'm up 2000 feet after 1 hour (thus losing 3 degrees per thousand feet or 6 degrees), the temp should drop to 79, as the temp is supposed to stay the same from 5:00 to 6:00.
Another 2000, roughly another 6 degrees, but the temp will be rising 2 degrees at that point, so I'm looking at 4 degrees lower total, or 75.
Next 2000, same story, so I'm at 71 degrees at Slick Rock. Should be around 69 at the top at 9:00 a.m.
If I go earlier or later, I run into higher temperatures, so I'm trying to hit the coolest possible time. It'll still be pretty warm at 1:00 - 90 degrees or above I believe. Hope you guys are hitting the coolest possible time as well.
By the way, scare away all the snakes for me if you will. As you probably have guessed, those things make me nervous.
