Ground Conditions

Reported on Tuesday, April 07, 2026

Time: At the summit around 1030
Snow above: no snow on path
Route taken: miners’ path
Next report: Friday 10-4-26

Warm then cold 7-4-26

Conditions
No snow or ice was seen on the path during today's observations, and the mountain was virtually completely clear of snow. Despite this there is some possibility of wintry conditions again before the end of the week (see Additional Information below).

A fine spring day (summery even?). Warm across much of the mountain, but still a cold breeze at the summit.

Essential equipment
Suitable seasonal walking equipment, including lighting (such as a headtorch or two each).

Carrying microspikes will offer safer options on the mountain during icy periods (see Additional Information below).

Additional Information
On the Tuesday of the report, the forecast suggests that the temperature at the summit will be several degrees above freezing to begin with, but the temperature will drop during Thursday, possibly below freezing before Friday. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as -1ºC (feeling like it is as low as -9ºC at times).

Precipitation is also forecast at times, with some snow possible high on the mountain, but this possibility seems quite marginal at the time of writing the report. This is most likely Friday morning.

With temperatures close to or below freezing before the end of the week there is also some possibility of icy conditions at times.
