Rain adjustments

It's going to be a rainy expedition this year.  Although we've been lucky to have great weather the past few years this year looks to be a wet one. The weather reports to the right of the page can give you a great sense of the conditions in the mountains.

We're making a few adjustments this year to account for the heavy rainfall we've already seen this year and to prepare for rain on course:

• We've been checking student clothing very closely to make sure we have good rain layers
• I picked up extra 'loaner' rain layers just in case students still aren't as prepared as we think they might be
• We've been thinking about alternate routes in the case of cold and wet weather that avoid long exposed ridges
• Good food is always important when it's wet, I've been tripple checking all the food and adding items where I think it might be necessary to boost calories

After all this prep it will probably be sunny after all... but it pays to be prepared!  Are you or your sophomores concerned about the weather?  Let me know in the comments!
