I’ve been wanting to head up to\u00a0O’Hara for a while, but was just waiting for the right opportunity with enough days of good weather to really make the approach worth it. There’s an astounding amount of sick peaks, with great looking lines, and since most have good west and northerly aspects, they are great options for this late in the season, when the sun comes on strong and quick.<\/p>\n
I went up a week prior to the real mission at the start of a 2-week vacation from work with Rory and Ian, as weather was supposed to be at least OK. Ian seems to bring the good weather wherever he goes, so I was reasonably certain we’d be able to do something. Unfortunately (well for what we were trying to accomplish anyways), it snowed 40-50cm in the valley bottom, with enough wind to make most big lines not viable.<\/p>\n
