Put that 6288ft mountain on top of a 5280ft plateau, like most of the hills west of the Mississippi sit on, and that hill can compete with many of the hills out west. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, one can do a 5,000 vertical foot day-hike from the Great Gulf trailhead to the summit of Mt. W. That's tough to find in Colorado. The big climbs are amomg the Cascadian volcanoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 All you can realistically ask for as a fan of winter weather in the mid latitudes is a cold source relatively near by. That essentially eliminates the possibility of a wall-to-wall dead-ratter in the absence of some exotically bad luck. I think people underestimate the value in that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I know its not sexy, but its necessary. Akin to why Wakefield was underappreciated with the Red Sox....guys who throw 200 serviceable IP/season do not grow on trees. You can't win without them. The cold source is Tim Wakefield....Pedro's starts would not have mattered without guys like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...split flow. But all things being equal, I will take the cold source....obviously in la nina when its probably all N stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
