In reply to Climbing Mt. Mitchell North Carolina Xmas... posted by Sigsterrr on December 15, 2007 at 4:23:43 pm EST

I am picking up a thermal suit of my friends just in case it is nasty there. I plan to park off of 80 at Black Mountain Campgrounds. I am prepared for up to about -20 now including the windchill. I have been checking the weather regularly to get a feel for the place. I would like to climb and be back down before sunset, but I really doubt that. If I see I can not make it back down, then I plan to sleep at the camp sites that are about 2/3 or 3/4 up the mountain. If I can not make it all the way up in one day, I will use the second to climb to the top and then camp where I did on the first night and climb all the way down on the third day. Just for the record, I will be sleeping outside or inside my car the first night so I will be rested for the hike. The reference to Mt. Mitchell being the same weather as southern Canada gives me an idea of what to expect. Thanks. I have been to Canada at xmas time. I will be picking up a stove tonight or tomorrow.
