Can anyone tell me what the weather conditions at Smith are like in February? I'll be in Portland for a wedding on the 17th and wanted to get out somewhere. Any other viable Feb options?
Thanks

For the most part it should be fine. But it'll also be cold during the night, bearable during the day. Have a down belay jacket and you'll be alright.

You can climb at smith year round. Just go and dress warm and chase the sun. Have fun.

Totally. Assuming it doesn't rain on you, it should be sunny. I hit Smith on the 26th of december, just as that blizzard was gaining steam to hit the rockies again, so it was rainy in oregon. It was still beautiful once the sun came out.

I meant that when we were there, once it stopped raining, it was still beautiful the minute the sun came out.
