Thanks for this information, especially the weather links. I'm looking to go up White Mountain Peak soon as well.
A friend and I attempted to summit Split Mountain a couple weeks ago but I had gotten sick that morning (left camp at about 4:30am) and was sluggish all day. He made it to Red Lake and I stopped about a quarter of a mile below Red Lake to nap. We backtracked in the early afternoon.
I would like your opinions as to whether or not it's safe to try to summit Split again in a week or two? I know there will be snow, but I'm not sure how much of a danger avalanches are at higher elevation (steep ascend up to summit of Split). I have an ice axe and crampons and experience using them, but I would prefer to get opinions about the possible dangers of going up there this early winter before I make plans to go again.
Thanks!
