: Hi Kimbo. I usually go up the first
: week of September, sometimes second
: week. But if you've got an extra
: space that's going to waste...it
: would be fun to meet in person, and
: I'll be running it, so I won't hang
: around and annoy you! Just a
: thought...

: Ditto what "Z" posted.
: The Vivian Creek trail has a lot of
: fairly-well protected areas (trees
: and canyons), so you're never really
: too exposed to direct lightning
: strikes or direct impact from
: hailstones. Check weather.com for
: updated weather the day before you
: go. If it looks even close to
: reasonable, then go for it and see
: how far you can get. No harm in
: having to turn around short of the
: summit.
:
: (this humidity & heat really
: sucks! )

: I'd encourage you to go for it and
: just start early like HJ suggested.
: Even if clouds do start to form you
: can monitor them on the way up and
: turn around if you feel like it.
: But if you start early there's a
: really strong probability that
: you'll get up there, have a great
: time, and not even have to worry
: about the storms at all. Have fun!

: I am just hoping this weather goes
: away but that is not very likely is
: it? I have been looking forward to
: this and am super bummed! Maybe I
: will reschedule to be on the safe
: side Thanks Jim

: Katie,
:
: The safer (safer, not completely
: safe) is to be off the high, exposed
: areas by noon. That's pretty tough
: to do when coming up from Vivian
: Creek. You might want to get a
: "classic Alpine start" (
: ridiculously early in other words).

: Is this going to be a bad idea due
: to
: the recent thunder storms? This
: will be my second time hiking to the
: Summit from Vivian Creek. Feeling a
: little sketchy with these storms.
: Anyone else going on Sunday?
