Mount Waumbek is showing DANGEROUS conditions

Avoid Tuesday night entirely due to severe storm and violent wind threat. Wednesday remains dangerous with near-hurricane-force gusts and ongoing storm risk on the summits — not recommended. Thursday is the earliest plausible window, but another cold front and showers are expected to arrive, and trails will still be heavily saturated. An early morning start Thursday, before the afternoon frontal passage, offers the narrowest viable window — monitor forecasts closely before committing.

“Trail is wet and muddy. Trail work has been done recently on the water bars and clearing of downed trees. It’s muddy in many spots but that’s the name of the game right now with all of the rain lately. There’s a hornets nest somewhere around 0.2 miles after Starr King going towards Waumbek on Kilkenny Ridge Trail. Couldn’t locate it and didn’t stick around to see where it was but could hear them.”
