thank you anon for making sense of this. I'm an east-coaster and even I have seen hypothermic conditions in the white mountains in the middle of summer, and that's during the day. the ground is permafrost 365 days a year fro a reason. at night in bad weather you are absolutely fucked even in July. the Presidential range is littered with weathered crosses of people who died of exposure because they were hiking when a rain storm materialized, and it happens every year since we started keeping track in the 1800s.
never fucking mind a 14k footer
