Hello:

I am for the next few years a flatlander in Tallahassee Florida. I have two questions:

*What city's weather should I look at to get an idea of what T-wall is like?

*I understand it's south facing so what kind of temps are usually nice on a clear day? I understand "nice" is very subjective but just want some opinions.

I used to live in northern AZ and we'd trudge through snow in the down jackets and be climbing in t shirts as long as the cliff was south facing.

Thanks!

First, check Chattanooga, Tennessee. Also, T-wall is a fantastic winter crag. It's just like you said, on a clear day, temps can be around 40 and you'll be climbing in a t-shirt. The rock and routes are outstanding. Have fun!
