I was planning on another pre-dawn climb of Mission Peak this morning, but when I got up at 4:00 a.m. it was windy… and my place down in the sheltered confines of Silicon Valley. Judging from the weather discussion I just saw, I think I made the right choice:

GUSTY WINDS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE EAST BAY
HILLS WITH SEVERAL LOCATIONS IN THE OAKLAND HILLS GUSTING FROM 40
TO 50 MPH THIS MORNING.

50mph winds on December 2 at dawn on Mission Peak create pretty nasty conditions, to say the least. Perhaps I’ll work up the courage to try again tomorrow morning!
