Weather-Based Packing Tips

Rain in the Forecast

Wet granite is extremely slippery. Pack rain gear, tarps for camp, and expect slower progress on obstacles. Winch use may increase.

High UV Exposure

UV index above 6 at elevation. Pack SPF 50+, a wide-brim hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.

Always Pack For Change

Sierra weather shifts fast. Even on clear days, pack rain gear and warm layers. Afternoon thunderstorms can appear with little warning at elevation.
